My dog is a picky eater. Why won't he eat his food normally?

Question

What does my dog seem bored or tired or sick of his food, he only eats when I palm feed him, when left alone, when tired or worn out, or when starving, or when there is other food with such as chicken or canned dog food? Why does this happen and how can I try to make him eat as soon as he sees food? Additional notes: had diarrhea, used to eat as soon as he saw food.

Thank you for using pet coach. With Lucky being such a young dog I would recommend allowing Lucky to eat at his own pace. Not every day is going to eat as soon as the food is put down. I would allow Lucky to graze or eat meals when needed. I would recommend not hand feeding or placing people food into the dog kibble. This will just set bad habits for Lucky. He will start only eating when hand fed. I hope that helps
