Many dog owners will ask “dog anorexia picky eating how to do?” In fact, the key to solving the problem lies in whether the owner feeding method is correct, or the dog will still be because of the owner’s wrong approach. Wrong feeding method 1. to provide dogs with an excessive amount of adequate food, so that dogs are free to take food so that dogs eat every day until they do not want to eat, will not learn to cherish food, just like people, when every meal is eaten until you do not want to eat, then see the very good food also did not feel the same. When the dog does not eat, repeatedly use actions, sounds, advice, intimidation to induce the dog to eat This makes the dog understand a reason: as long as I do not eat, you can exchange the master’s attention and performance, that does not eat is right! Because the dog is an animal that needs to interact with people, it is very willing to give up food in exchange for the owner’s attention. 3. When the dog’s appetite is poor, immediately give the dog to change food, add canned food, meat This makes the dog understand: refusing food can be exchanged for better food, starving is worth it. 4. When the dog refuses to eat for a long time, the owner finally does not tolerate it and gives it something better to eat. This way the dog will think: If the owner does not give me a change of food, it must be that I do not persist in starving long enough, so next time I will try harder to hunger strike in order to get a reward! Correct feeding steps 1. do not add meat, canned food in dog food; meat and canned food can be given to the dog alone in training, do not mix in the dog food; during the correction of eating habits, you can basically eliminate such snacks, only after the dog has eaten the current dog food to give a small amount. 2. Do not call, lure, or persuade the dog to eat dog food before feeding; add dog food as naturally as adding water to the dog. If the dog is a picky eater, divide the dog’s current meal into 4 equal portions and give 1 portion at a time (i.e., a quarter of the daily meal), 4 times a day. 4. If the dog does not eat, collect it after 3 minutes; no additional supplements will be added for this lost opportunity to eat. Do not keep the meal bowl with dog food for a long time; (basic principle, reduce the amount of each time, so that the dog is easier to eat, complete each meal task, you can get a reward. Divided into 4 times a day, that is, give the dog 4 chances to get a reward – so that the dog has more opportunities to build good eating habits) 5. outside of feeding time, do not give too much attention to the dog, performance can be natural, do not touch it for no reason, play with him. 6. The dog begins to eat the bowl of dog food, praise her, if you stop eating, immediately stop praise, completely ignore the dog. 7. Immediately after your dog finishes his current small portion of food, praise him enthusiastically and give him a small amount of tasty snacks. Play with him and do the training items he likes (e.g. shake hands). The purpose of the above training is to get the dog to eat as a way to get attention and rewards so that he will be willing to eat. If the dog still wants to eat after eating the current portion, don’t give it again. You can add a slight increase in the size of the meal at the next meal. When the dog has returned to good eating habits, you can increase the attention to the dog at other times, the number of feedings can be restored to 2 times a day, but never lure the dog to eat. Note 1. Feeding should be regular, quantitative, mild and regular quality. 2. Dogs should have fixed utensils to avoid scrambling for food and spreading disease. 3. Use a fixed water bowl to provide sufficient water for the dog to drink at any time. 4. Observe the dog’s eating frequently.
