Bellatrix Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 In the last week, my 14 week old pup has been drinking from her water bowl and then putting hew paw in it and splashing the water out. At first I thought it was cute.. until it started happening everytime! I changed her bowl over and changed water frequently but she still does it! Ive tried a smaller bowl and still happens.. Its annoying because she gets all wet and im continuelsy mopping the floor up. Ive taken the water away for 5 minutes and have said "no" etc.. Any suggestions?

Rhi*Jak*Ed Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sorry I shouldn't laugh.... Just brought back memories of me cracking it at every time I had to mop the floor after Jak had gone to town digging at her water bowl. She stopped this as soon as I bought her a clamshell pool. In her case, she was hot and trying to cool off!!! Now, if her pool is empty, she will dig at her water bowl... Some dogs can also see their reflection.

missmoo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 some dogs love it, its a game, others do it to cool off. have several shallow bowls with water, that way if one tips over or is emptied there are others to drink from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Chloe used to do this. I don't know whether she's stopped because she's growing out of it, or because it's just not as warm anymore. Either way, she now also has a large tray type pool full of water which she lies in/digs in when she wants to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Get one of the large drink bottles with a double ball bearing in it and hang it from the side the crate. We trainer ours to use it with a tiny bit of watered down chicken stock then slowley added more water until it was all water. Good training. All of my pups now go with a little "walkies" bottle that has the same top on it and can fit to any standard drink bottle, makes watering in a car a breeze.
