My dogs won't eat out of bowls anymore after my sister's dog came over and ate out of one?

Doesn't matter if a bowl has been cleaned they just won't eat out of it. We have to dump the food on the ground for them to eat it,

E. H. Amos: They won't eat out of any bowl we give them, new, cleaned, doesn't seem to matter they refuse to eat out of it.

Yes they will.    You offer the food in the bowls, and only in the bowls.   Stop giving into their fussiness.    They will eventually get hungry and eat.

It may take a few days, but they WILL eat from a bowl if you just simply stop dumping it out for them.

Just put the food in their bowls & leave it down for them to eat.  They will eat when they are hungry enough.  A dog will not starve itself if there is food available.  They will eat out of the bowls when hungry enough.  They may not like the food you are buying.  If you switch foods, take about a couple of weeks in changing from one to another, gradually adding more of the new & less of the old but take the time to do a proper switch or the dogs will get diarrhea from a sudden switch.

 Then maintain feeding them in their bowls when they get hungry enough they will eat out of them again.

Rubbish......If the dogs are hungry enough they WILL eat out of anything including another dogs bowl.

Don`t feed them ANYHING, not even a treat, for 1-2 days + and then watch them eat out of their bowls. 
NO healthy dog is going to deliberately starve itself to death, just because its food is in a bowl.
