  Hi i no this is an old post and i hope that you managed to figure out why ur dog wasnt eating. Im a huge fan of the dog whisperer and remember seeing an episode with a fussy newfounland that wudnt eat dog food or cooked meats. All tthe dog needed was more exercise (around 2 hrs per day) and he cudnt wait to eat . BasicAlly the idea is that dogs should be worked before food as the drained energy leaves them hungry

  Wow. Not going to touch the subject of Cesar Millan(I refuse to call him 'the Dog Whisperer'! That title belongs to Paul Owens). As for not eating... Unless there really is an underlying issue, all dogs will eat. Put the food down, leave it for 30 minutes, then take it up. Do it again at the next feeding time. Even if he doesn't eat for a day or two, chances are he'll be happy to eat by the third morning. Not sure if this applies to Akitas(Lobo is a mix), but I know that Lobo will go a day or two before he eats sometimes. But of course, he's also sick, and I've heard that Huskies don't always eat daily. :? If the dog won't eat for meals, maybe let him eat his food for training? Of course, I can't see an Akita working for common-day kibble. )
