fussy dog not eating...help!

i figured i'd post this here as it's mostly a dog food related question...duffy is now 10 months old and on his third variety of dog food. he started off on med-cal puppy, then had some tummy problems and was switched to med-cal hypoallergenic. eventually, he'd lost interest in the hypo and wouldn't touch it so the vet suggested switching to regular adult med-cal and that's what he's on now.
again, he lost interest in it. at the vet's suggestion, we started adding wet dog food (just those caesar's things from the grocery store). now he'll pick out the wet food and leave the kibble. we have tried everything to "trick" him into eating the kibble. we've added scrambled egg, cooked ground beef, shredded cheese, tuna fish and so on. with everything, he picks out the good stuff. he always eats a few kibbles over the course of the day but no where near his recommended two 1/2 cups per day.
when it comes to his treats or our food (if we do let him have human food its just a piece of bread crust or part of a cracker) he'll gobble it down in seconds. he even paws and cries at the cupboard where his treats are kept.
how can we get him to eat his kibble? should be try a different brand other than med-cal? what are we doing wrong? help!
