No I do not wanna bet. I once told a man wasn't a dog alive I couldn't make load up if you were hunting them regular. Well Ive now had one. I sold him to. Ive stated it on here also not a dog in this world could bark through a dogtra bark collar turned up on 7. Ive had him in my kennel since May.. lol... I will no longer jinx myself by saying something cant be done period.

Lol,,I hear ya,,talking about loading,,my female is weird on that part,,she loads up in my box just fine,,but she absolutely will not load into my brothers box,,and about 100 feet or more before we get to the truck,,she put the brakes on and stops,,it's like she is a frozen statue,,lol,,,we literally have to pick her up and shove her in the box,,,we've tried everything to get her to load in my brothers box,,,but I think it will be a cold day in hell before she does that,,she's been that way since we got her 2 1/2 years ago,,I've often wondered if the previous owner didn't have a truck and box that looks like my brothers and the guy did something to make her that way,,So I guess my female actually has 1 1/2 faults,,the water bowl,,and not loading when we take my brothers truck,,,lol,,,
Those are faults I can like with,,cause she has kindda grown on me,,lol

I wouldn't armchair quarterback all reasons for individual dogs I've never been around, that would be pretty presumptuous of me. Lol. They're all individuals.

I will say though that I'm a pretty firm believer in figuring out ways to keep a dogs energy and boredom levels down to stop all sorts of bad habits from forming. It's worked very well for me.

I cut a 5 gallon drywall bucket in half poke a couple holes up top and wire it to the pen. I just lift it and dump it to replenish the water. Works great!!

Because it's not high enough. Most dogs are not particular where they piss.

Posted by Mark Blair on 02-19-2016 02:54 PM:

Hey this just gave me a great idea! Im gonna go to town and steal a fire hydrant and mount it on the kennel floor away from the water bucket. Now Hot Rod fire away!lol At least his water will stay clean.

Posted by hillbilly56 on 02-19-2016 04:25 PM:

i put the feed pan in the front corner and screw it down with a srew the water bucket i put against the fence and take the handle use a bolt snap and snap it to the wire on the pen i use the bucket from tsc for horses and put the flat side to the wire has always work for me

Posted by nick miller on 02-19-2016 08:48 PM:

My dogs are tied out on chains, no kennel fence to tie stuff to.

for dogs not loading up....simple....get dog's front legs on tailgate(most will at least put legs up, but if not do it for the idiot) grab dog by base of tail ( this will not hurt the dog nor his tail) lift him up by the tailbase and after a couple three times w/that method they will load and usually if you go reaching for the tail they r more than ready to jump up in box. this also works good as a guide to get them in box.

another quick fix... go snatch, err i mean procure a road cone (u know those orange christmas trees) the dog will almost always use it and it is great to keeping them from urinating on the fence if in a lot

My thought for a dog with that problem was to get a 8-12" diameter piece of round wood and stand up in a corner. You have the same thought. Piss post, if you will. Both would deter from going in the water bucket, you're idea is better to keep them off the fence because you can sit the cone anywhere.

now if christmas trees get missing in Pa i have no idea who bert52 is...someone must have hijacked my name on here....lol!

Get one of those old fashioned shape dog food bowls that are meant to be hard to flip. Make sure its stainless, not plastic. Fill the back with cement, plaster, or whatever heavy stuff you have handy. Keep the bowl on a flat surface where it can't get a toenail underneath!

That said, my hounds like to drink running water if they have a chance. they prefer to drink from the sump pump hose that drains my basement if given the choice.

Why do the dogs like piss in their water bowls? Where do you pee? Most dogs thinks toilet bowls are great water sources and they watch you do it! Don't let them watch and they won't learn the habit!

I have a female that was so bad to destroy buckets and bowls that I attached her bucket to the fence for awhile and was pretty please until I noticed that she had demolised that panel of fence that the bucket was chained to. I now have her a concrete bowl and she still moves it around from time to time. She will chew on it and drag it and have places on her face scraped and bleeding. Some dogs are just nuts I guess.

Set a corner block from an old barn down and put a water bowl in it. They can't flip it over.

Of course it was serious. That's why my dog is always bugging me to drive the truck; he sees me driving it.

I have always tried to break my dogs from their bad habits at home before i hunt them and that way you have less to deal with in the woods,i any of mine start chewing,flipping,pawing,water an feed out of their bowls they start wearing the E-Collar and when they are caught doing it they are corrected for it,i want put up with a dog 10 year old and still chewing like a little pup.

Anyone have simple ideas they use for dogs that pull this crap? Im thinking along the lines of casting concrete bowls

simple fix if they got any sense I done it several times take a little time with e collar most times tone will work they get the message pretty fast, but remember it will take a little time but it works.

If her dog sits on the bowl to pee, I'll think she's serious.

I fasten milk crates either to the fencing or floor then just set my water buckets down in the crate. Can't flip it and don't have to untie it to clean it out.

Well now that you say that I had a dog that quit eating until I duct taped a fork to his paw so he could feed himself, so I guess it does make sense.

Was quite an expensive endeavor. Turns out stabbing dry kibble with a fork is pretty difficult. Had to switch to canned dog food.
