Hi folks,
First post on here but I've been getting lots of advice from you already by reading the other threads. Anyway, I wondered if any of you could had advice for how to deal with a puppy (18 weeks) who loves to dig in her water bowl. Actually it's any water bowl so if we go somewhere and water is provided for dogs she'll paw at that too.
Initially I thought it was because she was warm and it cooled her down but she does it when it's not particularly hot. Then I thought it was because she saw her own, or some other, reflection in the steel but as she does it on non steel bowls I'm not sure if that's the case and she doesn't do it in her food bowl, only the water. The bowls she has are quite big so although they're spaniel bowls I think they're more suited to an adult dog as her ears are always trailing in the water. Perhaps the size is a problem and I need to change bowls, maybe to something like thishttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Fed-N-Watered-Spaniel-Bowl/dp/B007MU4N4K Has anyone used these bowls, would you recommend them? If not do you have any other bowl you'd recommend?
If you think it's some other cause and have any ideas for stopping her i'd be grateful. I'm totally OCD and think I've adapted quite well as puppy mess in the Summer is no different to the kids in and out trailing grass cuttings with them but pawing in her bowl, shooting outside and bounding around in the dust so she is now a walking mud monster then darting back into the house to spread the love is beginning to grow tiresome
Many thanks
