Is he spolied?

So, for this past month Lambert has been very picky about eating his puppy food. It started with him not wanting to eat out of his dog dish holder or wanting us to be in the room when he eats. I asked a friend who is also a lab breeder/owner. I told her that he will eat in his crate so she said to put him in there. Now, he is tipping his dog dish over and spilling the food out of the crate. Friday, I left his food in his crate and went to work hoping he would eat it during the day. He did but was not hungry for this second feeding at 5:30. So Saturday I did not feed him his morning meal hoping that he would be hungry at his 5:30 feeding. 5:30 came and I gave him his food and water and he drank his water right down but shunned his food. So then I added a watered down gravy mix to the food thinking he would eat it right down. He did eat it but not exactly with the starving attitude I wanted. So my question now is what do I do? Does he need to go the vet? Am I being paranoid? Any comments would help.
