Stop knocking over her water bowl!

[WarrantsWifey]

We have a water fountain/filter thingy.... It works because our dogs share the water with our cats. So everything stays filtered. <3

However we'll probably go with this one next!! Since both our dogs are now MASSIVE!!

Joey's starting to do it, and he's 6 years old.

We've had him for 3 months, and he never did it before.

Bruiser has always done this...I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to work except me standing there. Just recently he's started doing it with his food. Turns the bowl of food over on the floor and then eats it off the floor. Sometimes brings his dish to the family room to eat with company around.

My 5 month old used to this. Here's how I corrected it:

I started by hand holding her water bowl, and them removing it as soon as she started to get "playful" with it.
Then I transferred it back to the floor, and stayed there until she either finished, or started to play with it. As soon as she did either, I swooped in and removed it.
Eventually, she got it right.

My GSD puppies play with their water bowls outside but not inside. Our last GSD came to us full grown, and she hated water. If the grass was wet, she didn't want to go outside.
