How to get my picky puppy to eat kibble instead of table food?

Question

My puppy isn’t eating her normal chicken kibble anymore, only at night when we give her kibble with organic chicken. She only wants table food. Should I add chicken to her food every meal now or wait it out ? Pet's info: Dog | Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 4 months and 22 days old | 25.5 lbs

What she is doing is training you to feed her what she wants when she wants it. You can stop this by discontinuing the chicken bits. If she isn't on a consistent schedule for feeding, start one immediately. Dogs thrive on routine. Prepare her food and leave it down for 20-30 minutes before picking it up whether she has eaten or not. Repeat this at the next mealtime. Do not offer any food or treats between meals except for tiny training rewards. Do not worry, she will not starve herself. She will eat when she is hungry and sees that no other food is forthcoming. Be firm and be consistent otherwise you may be creating a very finicky eater.
