Dogs usually adopt the method of refusing to eat food immediately, even if it is past the normal mealtime, expressing their dissatisfaction with the food to the owner through such behavior. Many owners feel sorry at this time and then take out other food to put in front of the dog, usually more tempting than the original food. But some dogs still remain unmoved. If this is the case, owners will likely put out all the stored food at home and let the dog pick its favorite food itself.
This will cultivate a picky and hard-to-please dog just like the owner, and the owner ends up serving it like a servant. To avoid being controlled by the pet, the correct approach is: first take the dog to the vet to confirm that the dog's loss of appetite is not caused by illness. Then the owner can start training the dog not to be picky when eating. The method is simple: immediately remove the food after each feeding time.
No matter how much the dog eats, or even if it does not eat anything, owners must not soften. At the next feeding time, do the same. The message to the dog is: either eat the food the owner provides now or go hungry and eat nothing.
This is a test of who has the stronger will, the owner or the dog. Generally, as long as the owner is determined, after going through this training process, the dog will also recognize the owner's determination and will no longer be picky.
