It could be that he has never eaten around people when he was a puppy. Frankly I would put the bowl down for 15 minutes and if he doesn't eat the bowl gets picked up and try again later. He will not starve himself! He needs to learn that you are not a threat. once he is used to your being around and dives into his bowl while you are there (I'm sure it won't take long)then start adding extra yummies to the top of his bowl while he's eating, he needs to get used to people fussing with his bowl. I always do bowl exercises wtih young puppies.
