I got a young female here at the house that empties her water bucket almost every day. She sticks her front paws in there like she's digging a hole and splashes all the water out. I've tried putting a lid with a hole cut in it on the bucket but she chewed it off and I tried only keeping it 1/4 full. Doesn't matter she will still splash the water out. A few whoopings slowed her down, but hasn't stopped it. She acts like she playing (9mo). I've even put bones and some chew toys in her kennel to give her something to do.

Any ideas????????

Sounds like she is bored. I have one when I don't hunt him he will play in it and dump every time until I take him. Then the next day he is fine. Lol

Had one that did the same thing. Vet said she was hot , trying to cool off. Installed fans in my kennel, she was fine after that. While the other dogs laid around in hot weather this one was always busy. If I stood on hot concrete all day a might want to splash around in some cool water myself.

i have a 2 year old female that would dump her water pan,then she would pounce on it with her front feet, barking and push it all over her kennel. I wired it to the side of the kennel and she would just rip it loose. I got a big rubbermaid bucket and wired that to the kennel, she will chew on it, dump it, but she is not barking at it and pounceing on it anymore.lol it didnt matter what time of year it was and she always has toys or bones to chew. I guesss every dog has its own issues just like people.

I didn't just go to town on her. I should have said scolded her because she ain't the kind that can take a whooping. And it was when I had just put water in and was standing there. As soon as I got done filling her bucket she went right over and started splashing it out. You bet I got onto her. And anyone that knows me well, knows my hounds get the best food, the best living conditions and a ton of attention. They are treated better than most hunting dogs I've seen. Our hounds are pets and family at this house.

Put the bucket in a milk crate zip tied to the kennel, that will take care of your problem, it has worked only labs and hounds
