Default Please help. My dog hates dog food.

I have an 11 month old Yorkie. After reading a lot of the info on this site I am very grateful that my dog is quite healthy except for her diet. She has never liked dog food. I started her on HALO when I first got her and she would never eat enough of it for her age. I changed her to Blue Buffalo and she hated it. She actually runs away when she sees dog food. It is not that she is not hungry. She will try to get into the cat food and will gobble up any little bit she might find. I feed the cats on their own table where she cannot reach it but they sometimes push some off the edge and she will get it. She begs for human food and will bark at us for not giving it to her. In desperation I started making her food myself thinking she would think it was human food. Well, she liked it the first day and generally refused it ever since although sometimes she will eat some if I feed her by hand. I have been giving her some chewable supplements that she likes but am concerned that she is not getting the nutrition she needs. She is very active and loves to play and go for walks. I now have Taste of the Wild and she might nibble on a piece now and then but is not eating enough. I have tried the Taste of the Wild can food but she runs from that too. She weighs 4 pounds and is a little girl. I am so concerned about her future health because of he lack of proper nutrition. Is there anything I can put on her food to make her like it? I have tried things like chicken broth and beef broth from the foods I make her. She does not like cottage cheese or yogurt. I am so desperate that I pretend to eat her food to get her interested in eating it. She doesn't fall for it though. I would appreciate any suggestions.
