my dog maxwell is a two year old lab/ret/sheperd/chow mix. he has become a very important part of our family. however he is our first pet and he was given people food. i am concerned for his health because he will not eat dog food. matter in fact he will not eat people food unless he sees a human eating it first. how do i do this? thanks...guy

Be strong and stop cold turkey. No more people food, no need to wean him. And, if he's hungry, he will eat. Don't worry.

I agree with Jill R. You have to go cold turkey on those kind of things. But if you feel too bad about going cold turkey buy your dog some high quality treats and food!

I have used DocJill's method, and it works! Hang tough for the well-being of your pet.
