If the dog is being given a lot of table/human food then the dog will be less likely to eat it's own food. Same applies for if the dog is being given a lot of dog treats throughout the day and night.
Human food is not good to give to dogs and should be avoided as much as possible as there are foods that can be and/or are harmful to them. Foods such as Grapes which cause kidney/liver failure in dogs. Onions which cause Anemia. MSG, Wheat, and other additives can cause allergic reactions and other problems.
If this is happening, stop all feeding of human food and reduce treats to 1 or 2 a day max. If your dog is still not eating the food or isn't given a lot of treats and/or human food.
You should make an appointment with your vet to make sure the dog doesn't have an intestinal obstruction/issue or other medical issue that is causing them to not want to eat.
