The cause can be sickness or there could be something wrong with the food - like oxidised kibble. More commonly though: if your puppy will only eat human food, it's probably a behavioural issue or change his food
Try giving your dog a more 'meatier' food. Tesco sell a dog food called 'feed me' and its good food. Stop feeding your dog human food it's not good for them and besides would you eat a 'burger' if you could have 'steak'?
Change food or put a little of what ur gonna eat and mix with some of his food.
Perhaps you can eat HIS food, so that, thinking it is your food, he copys you. No, seriously, many pets crave what we are eating; it is part of their natural social structure to share the "hunt," whatever that may be. As their second family, they often expect us to do the same. We used to eat the Milk Bone Five Flavor Dog Biscuits when we were kids. Not bad. Captain Crunch and many other cereals look like dog kibble. You could pretend to dish out his, then pull a bait and switch. LOL
I have met the same problem, do not know what to do.
Got the same problem dog knocks over its dry food all over the place but doesn't eat it. Been thinking my dog is older maybe I need to soak the dry food with some warm water to soften the dry food.
A dog can go without food for a few days and then will eat when it is hungry. Just stop giving your dog your food and at its normal feeding time give it a bowl of its food. If it does not eat it, take the food away. Then 24 hours later put the bowl of food out for the dog. If it has not eaten it within ten minutes take it away and then 24 hours later put the bowl of food out for the dog again. By now the dog should be happy to eat what it is given.

Sounds like a picky eater. Some say to force the dog to eat only his food. Whatever you do,do not just change his food. Do it gradually.
You could also do what my mother would do. She would take a bit of dog food and then eat her food. When the dog starts begging,she would give the dog some dog food. And it does work.
