THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWER IN ME I REALLY APPRECIATED, I;VE NOTICE THAT THE ONLY WAY HE'LL EAT DOG FOOD IS IF I GIVE HIM FOOD IN HIS MOUTH MY DAD SAYS ITS NOT GOOD CAUSE HIS GONNA GET USED 2 IT  AND HIS NOT GONNA WANT 2 EAT BY HIMSELF
DO U THINK ITS ALRIGHT IF I GIVE HIM FOOD IN THE MONTH HIS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD

I would start with NOT feeding your food right away or else you are creating a bigger issue down the road. If you are feeding kibble then try adding warm water or canned. Human food especially in a little dog can cause intestinal issues and even death. Sorry to sound harsh but it's the truth. I have seen first hand dogs come in and die because the owners fed them "table scraps". Get a good quality food and feed him that trying the above suggestions. Dogs need certain nutrients different from people. He may turn his nose up at first because you've already put this "spoiled" thing in motion but ignore it as long as he's drinking water he can go a day without food. He'll soon understand that he's NOT getting your food and will get hungry enough to eat his own. Good luck!
