Compare in the past, dogs at home eat whatever they eat and never dared to pick on their food. Nowadays, some dogs are picky and don’t eat any kind of meat, and don’t eat it simply because of dog food. It doesn't matter, let's talk about this issue today. If the owner can train the dog in the following way as a dog trainer, the dog will definitely not be picky about food.
First of all, we must rule out the cause of the disease! If the dog is sick, its nose may not smell the dog food, or feel uncomfortable in the stomach, or even have body pain that it is not motivated to eat. After eliminating the disease factors, use methods to correct the dog's bad habit of picky eating.
1. Develop good habits for dogs to eat from childhood
Since the dog was a child, the owners should feed them regularly. For example, when you are 6 months old, your dog eats three meals a day, which can be divided into three meals in brunch and afternoon and evening, but you have to feed it at about the same time every day. Take my dog as an example. As an adult dog, it eats two meals a day. The first meal is around 12 noon and the second meal is around 8 pm. Fed regularly is to let the dog know that if you don’t eat at this time, you will have nothing to eat.
If the dog is picky about food and doesn't eat, wait 10 minutes before taking the food away and take it out until the next meal time. Don't be soft-hearted, you're very worried when you see your dog has no food. It won’t be a good thing if the dog eats less or not, as long as there is plenty of water to drink.
2. Don't give your dog snacks
I know this is difficult! But if you want your dog to be picky about food, this is an important step. Don’t give any snacks to your dog at the beginning, hide your dog’s snacks, no matter how it asks you, don’t worry about it. If you have snacks and can eat enough, can you still expect your dog to be willing to eat additives without that much dog food? You must act together and not give your dog snacks, otherwise you will restrain yourself and your family will feed your dog snacks, which will not be wasted. After the dog is not picky about food, the owner can start giving it some snacks, but don’t do much, so as not to waste all previous efforts.
3. Re-examine the dog's exercise volume
Dogs are picky about food, and sometimes they just don't exercise enough, so they are not hungry at all. Like some magic fights, I am usually lazy at home and I don’t have much exercise in a day. If Fadou eats snacks, it will be full and enough to replenish the energy of the day, and it will not want to have an extra meal. During the period when the dog is corrected for picky food, you can appropriately increase the dog's exercise to see what changes are happening.
Correcting dogs to be picky about food, the core point is: Don’t be too spoiled! If the dog doesn't eat it, take it away, and if it's hungry, it's eaten.
