How do i continue training my pup whose not intrested in eating anything! Cocoa was diagnosed with high liver enzymes making her appetite quite low. He's such a picky eater and aint always impressed with treats. I want to review commands on him like "come" and "sit" since he seems to have forgotten it but even if i have a treat on my hand, he will not budge much. Any advice?

What does he like? a favorite toy? cuddles?
For police dogs & other rescue dogs the reward is always a toy.

try a treat with a very strong smell, even broken pieces of hot dog are ok as treats, cheese, etc.

Sheena my service dog in training, who is 4 months old is the same way in the sense that she is not all that interested in treats. She likes them though just not that excited. But show her a tennis ball and her attention is yours for as long as you need it. Try a toy is my suggestion. Sometimes a squeaking toy works even better.

Good luck in your training process! Enjoy your pup.
