My dog Natasha, an 8yr old Siberian Husky is feed dry kibble only. specifically Pedigree Small Crunchy Bites. She is fed about 3-4 cups once a day and has one opportunity to eat. if she dose not want to eat the food is removed until the next day. I never give her any human food, I think that is a bad training habit that should be avoided. my last husky, Tovarisch, was raised by me from a pup the same way and I could leave his sitting on the couch with my dinner on a plate next to him while I left the room without fear that he would eat it. All this was achieved through positive reenforcement and talking to him in his language. I firmly believe that if you want your dogs to really understand you and do what you ask them to do you must speak to them in dog.
