We have the same issues with our little furbaby. She has been picky since the day we got her at 12 weeks. We have been through all the canned food we can find. She'll eat the new food like she loves it, but next day or the day after, she'll turn her nose up at it. We've cooked her food for her too. We've gone through bisson, chicken livers, plain ground chicken, turkey, veal, venison and lamb. She's allergic to beef, and itches like crazy, but that's the one she likes the taste of best. You could try doing the same. We give her little pieces of carrot for treats which she just loves, and green beans, apple and banana. This at least gives her some variety. You could try cooking those meats or some vets now recommend raw meat diet. They say that dogs don't get sick from the bacteria that makes humans sick, altho I've heard the opposite from that too.

Anyway, we are still trying to get her to eat nutritious foods. We struggle everyday, and usually by the end of the day if she's only eaten a little food, she will eat twice her usual amount of the food she didn't like earlier in the day. So I think maybe waiting for them to actually get hungry is the answer, but it is so hard because our furbaby gets sick on an empty stomach and throws up white foamy stuff. And then she reeeeally doesn't want to eat. It's frustrating. Welcome to the club.

Some people at our Yorkie Meetup say they have to make their dog do tricks and commands, like sit and stay before they give them their food and then they will eat it. Apparently they are "working dogs" who won't eat without working for it.
