My 8 month old Rottweiler stopped eating his dry dog food about 3 days ago. He used to love his food and eat breakfast, dinner, and supper. He doesn't get any human food! He is still playful, still eats his treats, and is still drinking water. I mixed canned dog food in with it to get him to eat and he picked through it all to eat the canned food.

It sounds like your dog might have an upset stomach for some reason. I have a Corgi who acts just like that when she has "tummy troubles." It's almost like she's hungry and wants to eat, but knows that eating anything will lead to feeling nauseated and possibly throwing up. When she's like this, one day she'll eat dry food but not wet, and the next it will be the opposite. Or she won't eat the same brand twice in a row. Or she'll only eat the food from our other dog's bowl, lol.
Check his gums to see if there's any reddening or possibly a sign of a bad tooth causing pain when eating dry food. Take pet to a vet to have it checked out for the abnormal behavior sign pointing at a existing problem.
