Take two foot long pieces of 4 inch pipe. Drill some small 1/8 inch holes across from each other towards the middle. Take a bait blocks (ones with a hole in the middle) and put them inside the pipe. Then take a piece of brace wire about 8 inches long, put it through the holes with the bait bars in the middle. The wires hold the bait inside the pipe so the dogs can't get to it. Lay the pipe along the base of the feeders. The mice/rats can easily get in the pipe to eat the bait.
I have used these type for years. They work and are simple to make. The pipe protects the bait from pets and rain. You need to rotate brand of bait as it keeps the mice/rats coming back.
Another type of bait station I make is to take a five gallon bucket with a lid. Use a hole saw and put four 1 1/2inch holes around the base about two inches up. Then you set it flat with a brick for weight and bait inside the bucket. Then put the id on to keep water out. I use the small bait packs inside these type as some mice/rats don't eat the blocks as well. WACTH out that your dog does not roll the bucket around to get to the bait. I some times put a concrete block on top of them to keep the bucket secure.
There are two cheap homemade bait stations that work.
