Food & Nutrition1) What is the best possible way to start getting my dog into a good eating habit/schedule? At the moment he is eating whenever he feels like as we leave the food in the bowl throughout the day. 2) How can we get him back into the habit of eating hi
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucky. Start by placing his food down at the morning meal time. Allow him 15 minutes to eat and then take the bowl up. Offer him his evening meal at night. Again, allow him 15 minutes to eat. He will soon learn that if he wants to eat, he will need to do so during these time frames. Do not use human food to entice him to eat or he will prefer it. He needs to eat dog food as it is balanced for his nutritional needs. You can add warm water to the dry kibble or mix canned food in as well. As far as training, start with basic commands and be consistent with him. You can use pieces of kibble as training treats. You may try a training class as well. I hope this information helps!
