We brought Rowdy home at 7 weeks (hadn't found YT, didn't know any better), so don't beat yourself up. He didn't eat very well either. I had to give him water softened dry kibbles and also the same type of wet food - can't remember the brand, but it was lamb and rice dry and lamb and rice wet. He didn't eat very much for the first few days, so I gave him nutracal 3 times per day. He didn't eat hard dry kibbles till he was about 3-4 months old (not softened) and to this day (10 months old) he will not eat medium or large sized hard kibbles. I have to give him Solid Gold Wee Bits for small dogs. He still does not eat hard kibbles very well - I supplement with toddler (human) chicken sticks and sometimes cottage cheese. Eating has always been a challenge with him.
Good luck.
