My Siberian Husky literally is obsessed with food?

Ok so I have an 8 month old Siberian Husky and she is literally starving all the time. The only thing is, we have a huge bowl of food out for her all the time but she never eats it. Instead, she searches every floor of the house for human food and when we eat, she will sit and begg for our food despite having a huge bowl of her own food and water accessible to her at all times. Is this just a case of her becoming too dependent on human food? It's really frustrating because I convince myself she's starving just because she won't eat her food, but instead she will wait for human food which we won't always be there to give her. What is a good way of dealing with this?

    stop giving her human food for one, some dogs can get a bit spoiled : )

    mix wet food into her dry food, or you could hand feed her, dogs usually like that.

    also, sometimes dogs dont like certain types of food, so maybe try a different kind with more "dog flavor"

    I had this issue with my dog as well. Sounds like she's been fed human food quite a bit.That's how it was with my dog. So I just would wait to eat while everybody else did. I'd make sure my dog was by me and I'd sit by his food with an empty plate. I pretended to eat so it looked like I was eating his food. So he thought it was human food. He then eventually began eating his own food. But my dog was extremely gullible I'm sorry if this doesn't work out. Best of luck!
