 Half the container has dog food, half the container has regular food. Let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, then heat the dog food up in the morning. That will encourage the dog to eat. It's really important that you get the dog to eat the dog food rather than the human food. So again, take the dog food in a plastic container, put half of the dog food in the container, the other half chicken or beef or liver, whatever you want to put in there.
