blarney2 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 After my BC drinks water from a bowl she always paws the rest of the water out of the bowl. I have never understood why she does this. If anyone knows the answer please reply? My feeling is she does not want anyone else drinking her water or her front paws feel dirty.Both these answers are probably false. It's probably some BC trate! Thanks for the for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anne Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 My 1st BC boy did that, he just plain loved playing in water. We couldn't keep him out of water whenever we were around lakes, creeks, streams, kiddie pools or mud puddles!!! etc. We simply put his water in a 5 gallon bucket and he stopped pawing! With summer coming up, you should get her a kiddie pool to play in, but keep in mind they are destructable (and luckily cheap), so you may only be able to put it out when you are there, give her a try at it. How old is your girl anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Jackson is a total water dog! When he was a pup he did that. But with diligent correction, he finally stopped. However, mud puddles are still his! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blarney2 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thanks for writing back. Casey is 2 1/2. She is a great girl. She does love to swim in the water. I never thought it was just her love for water that made her do the digging. Thanks for the info. I knew someone would know why she spills the water.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg's mum Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I taught Meg to do this, because I had the feeling that she didn't 'see' the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 It is indeed because they long to play in a pool. If you WANT them to still play in the water - just not in the dish - correct the dog for pawing at the dish and that will work fine, they still love playing in other bodies of water after that!
