I don't know if this will help, but when Naja was a baby, I would feed her 3 times a day, like many others here, and also similar to Tina, I used feeding time as an important training time
. She would have to sit and wait for me to place the food on the floor, and could only start to eat after she looked at me and I told her "Okay" (releasing her from the sit/stay). Sometimes I would hand feed her the kibble, sometimes I would make her eat her food around my hand in the bowl
. As a puppy she would eat approx. 6 cups/day, 2 for each meal; as she got older, I reduced the amount of food, and adjust it to her activity levels as well
. Now she eats twice a day 3-4 cups in total according to how active she's been. Naja is farely good at self regulating her intake as well, but she's a Pyr, and most Pyrs are
. I've also always fed high quality food. Canadae until they changed their formula, then I switched to grain free Origen, the higher quality the food, the less your dog/pup will eat, that's very true
. IMHO I think you should look into getting a bowl similar to this one

Good luck, and please give that adorable puppy a big kiss on his nose for me!
