my lab luvs water like most lab pups well she keeps going to her water bowl getting her paws and slpaing the water :) it gose everywhere! then after she splashed everywhere she pick it up and tips it over its a china bowl, we had a big bowl then we changed it to a littler one to see if she couldnt do it eny more, made no diffrents!! has eny one experianced this befor and dose enyone have a solution or will i have to live with a wet floor for ever!!!:):)

Mine used to do this too, was funny to start with then got very annoying, but he grew out of it. He is 7 months now :)

My poodles tend to dive in the water bowl too! I use a very large heavy china one and make sure it is always full. I have it standing on a plastic tray to catch the splashes!

You need one of the metal stands which holds a stainless steel bowl that lifts it off the floor. As you have what will be a large dog it is better for them to eat at that level too. I know Luxway's do them mail order, not sure if you can get them from a pet shop.

i know someone who's lab pup used to do this, try distracting it to do something more interesting, also there are stainless steel bowls you can buy (couple of pounds from wilko's) which can not be tipped up they have sloping sides, hard to explain really, hope this helps :)

our dogs have a washing up bowl and there feet go in it
why not buy a second hand pond or kids pool for them mine have my old pool in the summer

Thanx for your help we bought her a paddling pool she Luvs it, it makes her go mad she so excited thanx ill have a look at buying one of the food bowls that are off the ground

hi my lab pup always did this so we bought a very heavy plastic bowl, one with slopping sides so that there was no way for her to pick it up it stopped her from picking it up and walking round the garden with it, but now at the age of almost three she still paddles in her water bowl and even dips her toys in it but at least the bowl stays where i put it.

haha mine does that all the time, shes a right cheeky devil though she will tip the bowl upside down after she will bring it to me and throw it at my feet.

Amber my lab dose the exact same thing! sometimes we'll go to the kitchen to she if she has water and the bowl not there. i onces found it in the garden in the flower beds even though it a china bowl!

cheeky little things arent they these dogs haha. now thats why my dogs got so many toys she gets bored easy and either tries to hide the bowl or she will slam dunk anything shiney.like my cd that fell on the foor, i dont think ill be playin that for a while hehe:D

my lab does this too, he is 6months,
i did the same as cassie n ollie, my lab toby loves playing in the kids pool ,
we all get in with him and have great fun.

mine hates water even swimming she hates , i thought cockers were suposed to love the water :O mabe shes a cat after all:P hehe

We have a 8 month golden retriever and he plunges his nose in the water and then dribbles everywhere. But take him to the beach or a like and he might put a paw in but then comes a wave and he runs in the opposite direction.
