I've tried putting her in her crate with her food for 15 min at a time, twice a day but she won't eat. She likes to nibble on her food throughout the day. I'd like to get her over that habit and eat when the food is put down and that's that. crate feeding is recommended in Chihuahua's For Dummies. It hasn't worked so far.
