Don't teach your dog bad habits

For the most part, fussy eaters are made, not born. Dogs are smart characters, and often they will baulk at their food because they've learned that they can get lots of extra attention, and hand-feeding, by worrying their owners.

The really clever ones will also know that if they hold out just long enough, they might get offered some delicious human food instead.

To change fussy behaviour, the first step is to identify the ways you may have encouraged it, whether by accident or on purpose.  Alternatively, your dog may be sneaking extra meals somewhere – or from someone – else! A quick check with your neighbours, other family members and the rubbish bins, may explain why dinner is left untouched.
