Dogs don't need bribes to eat. If your dog won't eat it means your dog isn't hungry yet.

People need dogs to be on a reasonable schedule. It makes it much easier to predict when they’ll need to go outside and more importantly to control when they’ll can be left home while everyone is at work

Sure dogs will eat when they’re hungry, but some dogs will “graze” throughout the day. … then I come home to find dog shit on my floor

Sure dogs need mealtimes, but once they're house-trained no dog I've ever had has shat on the floor unless they're sick. It works if you give yourself time to feed the dog and go outside for a little play and a shit before rushing off to your day.
