 Hello and welcome!
Hello! I agree with everything written above.
My baby Mika is a perfect little York) She eats well,doesn't mind eating human food once in a while, but never refuses her own. But I still can understand your worries. I also have American Staffordshire Terrier, and he is a PICKY-PICKY eater. When he was a pup I used to hand feed him. Plus it was a good bonding prosecute)) And while I was hand feeding my husband stood next to us - not moving. Our Staffy required all the attention he could get during the meal time. And it didn't matter to him if I gave him dry food or boiled chicken! Than, one shiny and beautiful day I was sooo tired of his attitude, that I just told him:"Either you eat what I give you, or you starve." and I began leaving him with his food for some time. It took him almost a week of half starving to understand that he is a big boy, who can eat himself. But I still stood close to him, although not hand feeding him.
When he was 1,5 years we brought home our baby girl Mika. She was so exited about his huge food! Always trying her best to chew it, and she almost didn't have teeth! She was just 7 weeks old. Anyway, Rocky became really jealous, that some little monster eats from his bowl. So je began eating and eating and eating, dropping little pieces of food on the floor, where Mike (tiny vac cleaner) was finishing it!
Than is our small family tal, on how a huge dog learned from a little baby to eat without questions))
PS! I think if we didn't get Mika, Rocky would learn to eat himself eventually. |
