My dog won't eat dry kibble. What can I mix with it or train her?

Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Female | 1 year and 1 month old | 390 lbs

I am just wondering what the best diet for my dog is. She doesn't normally eat dry kibble or wet food alone, so looking for something i could blend it with that is healthy for her. Or if possible, i need help with teaching her to eat dry food by it self.

I would try mixing the dry and wet food together to see if Aira will eat that, and if she does, gradually decrease the amount of wet food you give her until she eats the dry food only. You can also try that with boiled white meat chicken (no bones). Mix it with the dry kibble, and over time gradually decrease the amount of chicken until she is eating the kibble only. I hope this helps!
