[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] How can I get my newly adopted, 1-yr old Cattle Dog to eat consistently?
Logic says that "they'll eat when they're hungry," but our new dog only eats once every couple of days. We put food out twice a day for about 30 min. It's the same food she ate at the shelter. When she does decide to eat, she won't eat out of her bowl (stainless steel, same as water dish, and there are no problems w/drinking water), but will eat when a small handful is placed on the floor. It's so inconsistent, and makes potty-training her very difficult. She'll take treats readily (only given for good behavior & following commands). Any ideas?
If she is the only dog and you are feeding dry dog food. Fill the bowl and leave it down all the time. She will eat when she is hungry and will self regulate her diet. If you have a picky eater this works well. I free feed all of my dogs and they all maintain a nice weight.

Dogs and cats can develop fears of certain noises, human beings, and different objects. A fear of specific things can lead to inappropriate growling, snapping, urinating, and scratching. Your god or cat may injure itself while panicking during one of their fear attacks. All animals should be desensitized to their fears before is becomes a major problem.
Fearful behavior is normally caused by the following: • Invasion of personal space • Previous abuse • The lack of pleasant experiences with people at a young age
Lack of positive socialization can cause a pet to be afraid of people and other animals outside of the family. It is best to train your pet to interact with others when they are still young. Fearful behavior should be dealt with way before biting or snapping occurs. If this type of behavior has already occurred, consult with a behaviorist immediately.
Loud noises, such as doorbells, school buses, and thunder can also cause a pet to become apprehensive. To reinforce the behavior, console your pet during the situations. Negatively punishing the pet does nothing to address the fear itself. Never reward inappropriate actions with treats and praise.
If you are unsure of how to handle your pet's fearful behavior, talk to a behavior specialist or your veterinarian who is able to prescribe anti-anxiety medications to help during the behavior modification.
