HOW TO HANDLE PICKY EATERS
Picky eating in dogs is often a training issue rather than an appetite problem, stemming from learned behaviors and inconsistent feeding practices. To address this, establish a strict feeding schedule, reduce treats, and avoid offering alternative foods, ensuring consistency in training.
Picky Eating in Dogs: Key Points
Training Issue:
Picky eating in dogs is often a result of learned behavior, where they manipulate their owners into offering alternative foods.
Natural Eating Habits:
Dogs can skip meals without health issues due to their evolutionary adaptation to intermittent fasting.
Training Tips:
• Reduce or eliminate treats to prevent your dog from feeling constantly full.
• Establish a strict feeding schedule and remove uneaten food after 30 minutes.
• Avoid offering alternative foods or hand-feeding if your dog refuses to eat.
• Serve the same meal at the next feeding if your dog skips it initially.
Diet Management:
Limit diet variety and ensure portion sizes are appropriate for your dog's activity level.
EXERCISE:
Regular exercise before meal times can stimulate your dog's appetite. Consistency in these practices is crucial for success.
WHATEVER YOU DO... BE CONSISTENT!
Just like building any good habit, consistency is key.
