I have a 1 year old Yorkie, and as I've seen a lot of members share my pain, my yorkie is also a picky eater. I've read a lot of suggestions and advice, but I have a general question.

Many people have asked what to do when their Yorkie does not eat. The two main answers I've seen are:
1. alter their diet somehow by changing what they eat or adding something tasty/different to it
2. do nothing and continue feeding them what they already eat; eventually they'll get hungry and since they apparently won't starve themselves they'll eventually learn and eat what they have.

So what do you think? Do you agree with #1 or #2?

Thanks for your time!!
