What to do if a golden retriever puppy is picky about food

1. Never feed people food

2. Stop feeding snacks while correcting picky eating habits

3. Make sure to walk the dog no less than twice a day, and the more the better, no less than 5 minutes each time! (Does this have anything to do with correcting picky eaters? Yes. More on that later.)

4. Feed dog food regularly instead of putting dog food in the food bowl for golden retriever puppies to eat at any time.

Scheduled feeding does not mean feeding at a fixed time every day, but means that there is a specified upper limit for each feeding time - 5 minutes each time, and the food bowl is collected after 5 minutes regardless of whether the food is eaten or not.

It takes less than 5 minutes to eat each time, but as long as the golden retriever puppy obediently lowers its head to eat, but looks up or simply walks away, take away the food bowl immediately.

As long as there is dog food left in the food bowl after 5 minutes, reduce this amount next time until you can eat it in one go within 5 minutes; after a few days, add it little by little according to the situation of the golden retriever puppies. Increase the amount of food gradually, still ensuring that there is nothing left in the food bowl, until the appropriate feeding amount is reached.

5. In the process of correcting picky eating habits, the number of feedings per day should be adjusted according to the situation of the golden retriever puppies. It is by no means "if you don't eat, you will be hungry"!

In the process of correcting picky eating habits, golden retriever puppies often eat irregularly. Suddenly they eat well one time and not so well the next time. Observe patiently and adjust the next feeding time according to the amount of food eaten.
