Boys Ive put up with this for years and cant take it anymore!!!! I have been on a bad run lately, last 4-5 young dogs that I have raised are all bad bowl flippers, I have tried alot of diff things but no luck at all, I have one now that wont drink for couple days and when I get him fresh water he takes one drink and flips it over.

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

When I have had bad bowl flippers I would attach there feed and water dishes to a 2x2 piece of ply wood that solved the flipping problem for me after a month or so I remove the plywood and they had forgotten about flipping the bowls

Get square plastic horse pans that have the actual pan inside of an outer shell from local farm store run some wood screws through the out side edges turn upside down and fill with concrete.

You have to be smarter than the dog.

I used to use frying pans for feed dishes but I have one dog now that would flip his feed dish right in front of me and eat his feed off the ground. I went to TSC and bought him a SS feed bowl that is only about 3" tall and about a foot in dia it can't possibly be flipped. They cost around $10. I liked it so well I bought all my dogs one. Your water bucket is a different story you just need to anchor it to something. I've seen a couple good Ideas on this thread when it comes to that. I did try your concrete bowl idea for a bird dog years ago. it did work but got to be a hassle to keep clean in the summertime when the green slime started growing in it, a plastic bucket is allot easier to scrub out.

I have has got to be the worst I have seen. I always thought it was because he was bored. Hunt the guts out of him and you think he would stop. Nope, keeps right on doing it. Clip them to the fence and he just plays with it until empty. Build boxes, tears them up to. Just a total fool in the kennel. Lol. But I really like him so I put up with it. I still remember the day I anchored them to the fence, he stood there looking at me like I was a fool to even try.

Some of you aren't gonna want to hear this, but the old adage an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure applies here.

Individual dogs are probably more prone to it, but boredom and excess energy can produce bad habits of all sorts, and bad habits with nothing else to do will more often than not turn into obsession. It will start quicker with young dogs than any.

I've had dogs of all types and only ever had 2 that started it and were quickly and easily deterred. Like most people I've seen dogs of all types that were bad about it.

I have had more trouble with dogs ( mainly pups ) chewing on and destroying the bowls. We used to raise a lot of hogs and some of them were kept outside. There was a local company that years ago made round water troughs for the hogs. We still have a lot of them and that is what I use. I made stands for mine so I can wash out pens yet. They weigh about 40 lbs so they can't be flipped. I have not had a dog chew one up yet.
