Both my dogs were picky eaters. I stressed out over it until I spoke with a trainer, holistic pet store owner, and the vet...... their conclusions were, and this is almost verbatim... "there's no record of a Yorkie ever starving to death" following their recommendations, I withheld food for one day. Simply did not put any food down at all (just water).
The next day, I fed 1/2 the recommended daily serving amount of a well balanced, nutritional dog food.
The following day, I fed 1/2 daily serving in the AM, and 1/2 in the PM.
I continued to follow that routine. If at any time the food was not eaten within half an hour, I picked it up. No snacks or treats until the next regular meal time. It took a couple days but it worked!
Now I've got an eager eater. Rarely is there a morsel left on his plate.
