You only feed one cup per day anyways, right? Feed that entire cup in the car. I dunno, give him some time maybe 5 minutes or so. I wouldn't stand out there till he eats, or any extended period of time. Do you have him in a sit and release before eating? Do that if you normally do that. It shoold be a small window of opportunity, not a stand off. If he refuses, he loses. Simple. Its a win-win situation. If he likes to eat, he should go in there NP especially if he's hungry. He knows its not going to "hurt" him. Obtaining his food is the reward for goin in. You could sweeten the deal and have another treat ready to hand him after he's eaten, so that you can use that later as reward for going in when you no longer need to feed his dinner in there.
