| Buster was the same way. His trainer put a few treats in the bowl along with his kibble and he started eating from the bowl. It was amazing how finicky he was as a puppy!

| Was he used to eating with his siblings if so put his stuffed toys around the bowl and wiggle them as if they are eating, may encourage him! |

| Yes he does with no issues lol. He's a strange one! I've made some progress... he now eats around half his food in the bowl and the other half on the floor. Hopefully he'll be eating it all out of the bowl soon! It's tough because he's just not a big eater (which is so foreign to me, my last dog would eat ANYTHING). I have to coax him to get him to eat a full serving of food.

YT 500 Club Member | My little zooey did the same thing too. She would push food out of bowl onto floor, then eat it. Or dump bowl upside down. Went through 3 different types of bowls, and tried treat ball. She liked that too. Now she's a little over a year and I found a pretty crystal platter with a little edge that she eats out of and likes it. What a princess, likes the finer things in life like her mama!

| Hey everyone! I just wanted to update that my Leroy, at 16 weeks, now very comfortably eats from his bowl and finishes all his food!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Good new, pretty soon your problem will be trying to stop him eating anything that isn't in his bowl, shoes, hairbrushes, door frames.

| Jess did this too at first. She eventually wouldn't drink water out of a bowl either.? It seems like they try and dominate anyway they can and if its making you work like a dog (lol) to get them to eat so be it! I find they grow out of it after a while. So feed the dog off the floor for now, eventually as she settles in you could feed her out of a clown mask and she will eat it. |

| Good to hear things are going well. These little guys are really so often little oddballs at first and we do everything we can to try to figure them out and make them happy and comfortable but boy, they can make it hard at times!

| Try a shallow dish...a cat dish works great, but he may be too large to eat from a cat dish....I used a 1 inch deep corning ware "casserole" dish....little square dish 6 x 6 x 1....some are not used to eating out of a bowl....some dont like shiny bowls, some dont like plastic bowls, several of mine are happiest eating off a plastic 3# coffee can lid.....these babies will work you to death.....and they look up at you with those innocent little loving eyes, absolutely certain that you can get this right.......!!!!!! |
