dogs aren't going to starve themselves. he will eat eventually. what you can do if schedule feed him for a few days. Give him the meal for 15 minutes. whatever he doesn't eat, pick up and do not offer him food again till the next feeding time. at the next feeding time offer his meal again for 15 minutes. if he eats, great, if not, pick it up again and he doesn't get anything till breakfast. Not eating for a day is fine and normal. mine free feeds and eats whenever she wants. sometimes she eats her meal right when i put it down, and sometimes she's not interested and won't eat. its completely normal for dogs to do this.
and since he's 1 year old you do not need to worry about him skipping a few meals. it won't hurt him.
