Beth. Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yep Lotties another one... She loves the hose, the tap - she loves when I have to refill the water bucket and attacks the tap when its on, her water bucket which drinking means jumping her front legs in and drinking that way (which has to be big enough so she doesn't knock it over, or it's empty straight away), puddles, me emptying a cup/bottle, her clam shell, the ocean, the lake.... - pretty much anything water related, Lottie loves it - and I LOVE having a water baby!!!!

sandgrubber Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) In boarding kennels we find about 1 in 10 dogs is nuts about hose chasing and has to be confined when we hose down the floors (using high pressure). Gun dogs, GSD's and terriers (mostly SBT's) are the worst offenders. Had a tenant who bred Goldies. Her bitches were so hose mad that they'd go into a fight to the death about who got the hose. Needless to say, a bucket of water was not a good way to break up the fight. My own Labbies are hose shy, though I've never disciplined them with a spray.

kazads Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 My boxer Bella is water obsessed also - she loves the beach, the hose, rain (when the gutters overflow, the shower etc... Couldn't care less about the hose when it is reeled up, but as soon as she heres the squeeze noise of the tap when I turn it on, no matter where she is, she comes running!!! Funny thing is, she is not overly fussed with getting a bath - she will persevere through it but it is just as not as much fun as chasing moving water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper and Jax Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 My GSP Pepper loves water coming out of the hose or tap. But she isn't a fan of water when it's just sitting there. Doesn't like to stand in a clam shell, and certainly won't sit or lie in it. But filling it up is the most exciting thing ever. That applies to the water bowl too - she much prefers to drink straight out of the tap than out of the bowl. Unfortunately watering the garden with my arm stretched at full height, so that the water can at least leave the hose and attempt to get to the plants, results in Pepper jumping on me to try and get enough air to reach the hose... Training required! That is, when we replace the badly chewed hose for the coming summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottychick Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Its so good to hear about all these other dogs that do the same as Pepper. And I love the way the title of this thread expresses it - "like he has lost his brain" - roflmao Oh and btw luvLottie - Lottie is gorgeous!

Aphelion Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I lost my sheltie a year ago. He wouldn't have crossed a puddle to get to food if he was starving (and he was always starving) but he would have chased the hose water all day if he could.
