My rescue was like this when we brought her home. I started giving her fewer pieces and putting them closer to the bowl and started sitting farther away from the bowl. I used to have to sit on the floor and feed her one piece at a time. After awhile if I got her started she'd continue on her own. Then I'd stay in the room till she was done eating. Now she will eat on her own but bring each bite around the corner to the living room to chew it. It tires me out to watch her go back and forth. lol
