What kind of bowl are you using? Have you tried switching bowls? Does she wear a collar? (sometimes the tags clinking against the bowl will bother a dog).

Have you tried putting her food in a car dish (they are very low usually) or even on a plate?

Teddie had this issue, I bought him a new bowl that was like the other dogs in the family. He didn't have an issue trying to eat out of theirs so I figured he just didn't like the feel of his. Now he eats no problem.

Three out of my four Yorkies all take a mouth full and fun to the other room to eat it. Have done this for as long as I can remember... I guess you could say it there way of sharing and not being a HOg, which is nice!

These furkids can sure be picky even with their bowls. My feed in Martha Stewars small (cat size) bowls. She loves em

Ziva eats from a small restaurant side dish, I have also found some corningware dishes called "sidekicks" at yardsales. They are not plastic so I feel better about that. She will not put her face into anything deep, she will only use the big dogs water dish as she can lick off the top.

Paris used to do this. He would get a mouthful, run into the living room and spit it out and then eat! Now that he is blind he just gobbles up his food like he'll never find it again. I had to put a golf ball in his dish to slow him down.
