This doesn't seem quite right. My Shiba Inu (her name is Doge, check her out: https://www.instagram.com/brndnmtthws/ https://www.instagram.com/brndnmtthws/) is generally quite disinterested in food. I often have to trick her or keep her leash on and attach it near her bowl to make her eat. When she gets excited, she can't be bribed with treats (she just ignores them).
She likes food, but it seems like her main interest is playing. She'd rather run around in circles or play fetch than eat most of the time.
- cableshaft 9y agoOur Shiba, Kubo, loves human food and treats, and will bark and get up on his hind legs to try to get bits of our meals, but he's not super excited about dog food and we have to leave it out all day for him to eventually get around to eating it (he will though). At first we actually thought he wasn't food motivated, but that was before we started feeding him human food. He goes into full scavenger/hunter mode whenever he's outside too, and manages to find all sorts of junk on the ground that I swear isn't there until he has it in his mouth. He actually slipped his harness and ran away for a week earlier this year, and we were able to catch him again with the help of hot dogs and fried chicken (and a lot of hard work and a lot of help from local volunteer organizations).

- elboru 9y agoI think a lot of people who interact with dogs in a regular basis will disagree too. My girlfriend has a little female Chihuahua, and even though I never feed her she will go crazy every time I enter the house. Why would she do that if I'm not a food source?
