Wow, just wanted to thank you guys for the advice and share what worked for us. We're on our second week of NB Venison & Sweet Potato. Casanova's gone from completely rejecting the food to chowing down as soon as the plate is down. We served NB 3x a day for 10 min each instead of leaving it down. We took away every single treat, including Flossies and chews. We shared no food whatsoever. We trained with the same kibble. (That is also why Casanova almost didn't graduate from puppy school, but that's a different thread.) We ground it up with a food processor so that it is teenie tiny. He gradually ate more and is now up to over 1/3 cup a day. I'd like him to eat more, but already this is beyond my wildest dreams. So have faith if your fluff is a picky eater. All the advice on this forum is true- we are the ones creating the pickiness by catering to our fluffs' tastes. They know this and will not get in a regular routine unless they sense that we confidently know what's best for them and we are firm. xo
