What should I do if my dog is a picky eater? Sometimes because of improper feeding and other reasons caused by the dog picky eating, so how to correct it? The following small beans for you to share the dog picky eating how to correct the method.

How to correct your dog’s picky eating method:

Very important: Correcting a dog’s picky eating or other behavioral habits must be a concerted action by all family members! Trying to get the dog to change is impossible if the family can’t have consistent action. The end result will only be that the dog will go back to its old ways after a few days or more of tossing and turning with people.

1. Never feed people

2. Stop feeding snacks while correcting picky eating habits

3. make sure you walk your dog no less than twice a day, and the more the better, for no less than 5 minutes each time! (Does this have anything to do with correcting picky eating? It does. More on that later)

4. Feed the dog food regularly instead of putting it in the food bowl for the dog to go to anytime.

Timed feeding doesn’t mean feeding at a fixed time every day, it means that there is a set upper limit to how long each feeding can last – 5 minutes at a time, and the food bowl is collected at the end of the 5 minutes regardless of whether or not it’s all eaten.

5. Not 5 minutes yet, but as soon as the dog doesn’t eat with his head down like Arthur in the photo below left, but looks up or simply walks away like Arthur in the photo below right, take away the food bowl immediately.

6. As long as 5 minutes to the food bowl left dog food, the next time to subtract these amounts, until you can eat in 5 minutes in one bite without leaving; a few days later, and then according to the dog’s situation little by little increase, still ensure that there are no leftovers in the food bowl until the appropriate amount of feeding.

7. In the process of correcting the habit of picky eating, the number of feedings a day should be adjusted according to the dog’s situation, never “eat or starve”!

How to adjust? If the dog feeds two meals a day feeding interval of about 8-12 hours, if the morning feeding within 5 minutes did not eat or eat the amount of the amount of difference between the appropriate amount of food, take away the food bowl, the next feeding time should not wait 8-12 hours later. Instead, the next feeding should be in about 1-2 hours, and the other practices will still be as in 1-6 above. Of course, the food bowl should still be taken away if it is not finished in 5 minutes.

During the process of correcting picky eating habits, your dog’s eating tends to be irregular, suddenly eating well one time and not so well the next. Just be patient and observe and adjust the time of the next feeding according to the amount of food eaten.
