I use one of these for my golden and it slows him down. I also use a Kong wobbler to feed him dinner. Occasionally I'll use a snoop, which also works well.
Alternatively, you could stick two spoons in the bowl in an X fashion. There are tons of ways to slow fast chompers down so they don't get bloat!
I was having the same issue, my vet just told me to clean off a big fat rock and put it in his bowl so he has to eat around it. She also suggested if I was weirded out by doing that, I could buy one of these. Rock worked though!

Our dog figured it out when we tried it. Then our trainer recommended one of the stainless steel Omega balls and he couldn't pick it up if he tried. It's slowed him down a lot too.
There is a thing called a Portion Pacer, which is a heavy stainless steel ball that prevents fast eating. My Great Dane uses it and doesn't throw up due to food anymore.
