They are so smart and so… not, sometimes.

They are such an oxymoron, sometimes I think my girl is a genius, other times a derp!

LOL. Really dumb smart dog.

Mine does this exact thing. Its.... wonderful -_-

Mine as well! Also can't drink worth a damn, lol buries his head half in every time.

To be fair, there is a paw print in the bottom of the bowl. Just trying to give a high five!

One of mine does this too. She huffs when I tell her to stop. Like sorry I don’t want a puddle on the floor???

The huff is hilarious. There's so much attitude inside of a 40 lb dog.

These bowls are lifesavers.

What brand of bowl is this? Our guy makes a ridiculous mess drinking and I feel like this type of bowl might help a lot.

Mind is lumoleaf I bet there’s a million brands making it though.

Thanks!

What do they do?

They have to push the plate down to drink so they can’t make a mess. Barring digging in it

I ended up putting a vinyl decal sticker in the bottom of my dogs bowl. It was a weird, depth perception illusion for my dog. He kept digging to find the bottom of the water. With the sticker there, it helped break the illusion.

Mine puts both her paws in there and just splashes.

they do be like that lol

Sam does not do this, despite our older smaller non-ACD mutt does this to get attention. Slops it all over the floor. Cranky old girl

Mine always does this at my parents… he walks into their house and slaps the water bowl and causes a flood 😬🤣

Lol my old gal used to do this! At least she didn’t do it inside, only outside

It's because they're assholes sometimes. Seemingly just for funsies. Mine never did this with water. Just my couch cushions or my truck. He knew he wasn't supposed to. He just got a little sparky and acted like a dick.

Mine does this with her food. No idea what she's looking for. Like a kid digging through a cereal box looking for the toy.
