Kind regards

Add a handful of AllBran to the diet. Extra fibre stops this immediately.

Often one of the signs associated with "housekeeping" gastric contractions being not optimal.

I agree.... empty tum vomitting. I think a very strict feeding routine makes this worse. If you always feed at the exact same time in the morning, the Pavlovian response kicks in as soon as you get up in the morning and the body starts producing acids etc. I would agree with everyone else...feed a small late evening meal...but I would also try to be a little bit more random in when you offer the first meal, ideally after the early morning walk.

Empty tum syndrome in my opinion. Common in smaller breeds, feed your second meal mid evening or give a few biscuits at bedtime. Sorted.

There are too many possible causes to start here really but in a dog this age diet comes top of the list. So what are you feeding her on? It may be a dietary quality issue so maybe try a better quality food. What are the faeces like - a lot of people accept formed but softish faeces but that may be another indication of diet quality, they should be dark brown and firm enough to mould like putty. If the diet is already good quality then dietary intolerance is next on my list so an exclusion diet would be next thing to try but it may be best to approach your own vet (I assume you have a tame local vet) for this for risk of treading on toes.
