I am no expert but I would think it is pretty comman for some dogs to be picky. Like it or not, there are a lot of them
I have come to allow food out all the time BUT i only put out the average portions per serving twice a day. BUT my two little ones - not poodles, were this way and still are a little bit. What I did was got tough and only gave them about 30 minutes at two feedings a day to eat.
Once that time was up I pulled it away. Each day they would eat a little more in the morning. Also what I did was added soft food into the hard to try and entise them more. It worked for them, they eat kibble only now and treats for training and bedtime. Coco still sniffs at times and we correct him to come in the room or destract him and he listens. So it may be a little scheduling and a little training too combo.
