Picky Lil Eater... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just adopted my sister's 2 1/2 year old yorkie and I have a few concerns about his picky eating habits. For 1 he doesn't like treats, so I'm trying to figure out what I can give him as a reward while training him. The next, we've had him since Wednesday night and we refilled his food for the 1st time last night(Sunday). But he does do the #2 once a day. Should I be concerned about his eating habits?

As far as treats go ... i recommend you try peanut butter for treats. But not in large quantities.

My little Jackie LOVES Ziwipeak treats. They are really healthy and natural. And if that doesn't help, try peanut butter. A lot of people do that. Just be careful - it should not contain a lot of sugar, that's bad. Try to buy really natural peanut butter. I'm from Europe and i order it from England. Jackie loves it! I don't give it to her every day, it's a special treat for her.

I would change the food in the bowl daily because it gets icky after sitting out to long. Callie didn't like any treats when she was a puppy but the Mother Hubbard treats have you tried those? You can also try cheerios, carrot pieces, green beans, and a small piece of boiled chicken.
