Yorkie will not eat

Question
I have a 9 month old Yorkshire Terrier that is a finicky eater.  This as seemed to be an ongoing problem that we solve for a few days/week and then reemerges.  We talked to the Vet and she had us feed him cottage cheese for awhile (he was vomiting yellow bile when he didn't eat), but then he decided that he did not want to eat that either.  For history, we started out feed him IAMS puppy food (dry), then cottage cheese, then wet canned food and now are feeding him a softer hard food called Moist and Meaty.  I would say each food lasts a month or so and then we are onto the next food.  I have read a lot of advice that says to starve your dog and it will eat dry dog food, but my vet also says I need to make sure he eats so he does not vomit.  The longest duration we had without vomit was about 2-3 weeks when we were feeding him right before bed and right away in the morning with a snack at lunch time.  The only other symptom that I can think of is that his stomach does growl, which I'll notice about once a week when he's sleeping in bed.

Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Answer
You're not going to like my answer, but your dog is spoiled. Dogs become spoiled when people cater to their wants rather than their needs. Depending on his size, it will not hurt your baby to go without eating. When he gets hungry enough he WILL eat. Choose a food that you know he has liked in the past. If you are concerned about blood sugar due to size, get some nutrical and give it to him a couple of times a day. It is preferable not to do this as he NEEDS to eat his food. Until you stop jumping when he snaps his paws he is going to continue to refuse food when he feels the need for attention. It usually doesn't take long. Cut out all treats etc. Offer him his food at regular scheduled feeding times, Remove anything uneaten after thirty minutes. You can also add some pedialite to his drinking water to keep his electrolytes up during transition. He will NOT starve himself. He really will eat :)
