My 3-month puppy won't eat dry food. How do I get him to eat kibble?

Question

I have a 3 month old puppy he won't eat his dry food so I've been mixing it with wet food. I read an article talking about we dog food being high in sugar and salt do you have any recommendations on how to get him to eat dry food we've tried different brands too. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 29 days old

As long as it is a good quality canned food, you can continue mixing it in with his dry kibble. Use a teaspoon or two and mix well so he can't pick it out. You can also mix in some warm water to soften up the kibble. Dogs thrive on routine, so feed Marley on a consistent schedule. Prepare his food and leave it down for 15-20 minutes before picking it up whether he has eaten or not. Repeat this at the next scheduled mealtime. Do not feed any other food or treats (except tiny rewards for training) between meals. Do not worry, he will not starve, he will eat the kibble when he is hungry. Be firm and be consistent.
