Aw, I wish I had advice to help. My dog eats on a schedule 3 times daily and about thirty minutes before feeding time he starts acting like he's going to die if he doesn't eat immediately. He acts like he's not seen food in a month. The only time his schedule changes is on weekends when I get to sleep in and even then he doesn't let me get extra sleep bc he hovers around my head until I wake up. I wish you luck!!!!
