Owen used to have a hard time with eating as well when we first got him...he would make us wait there with him while he ate... and I did that for a while.
I would suggest getting on a schedule so that he gets excited when he sees you filling up his food bowl. That tends to work with Owen now, and I don't have to watch him eat.. he does it on his own!
The wet food isn't bad once in a while, and might get him a little more excited to eat as well. It's a good treat. That or try crumbling his favorite treat into his food bowl along with his other food.
Good luck! I am sure you will get it all figured out
