My puppy has a drinking problem

Just wait...not only can you not keep the water in them, you can't keep them out of it. Chopper looks just like my old Lab Otis. Unfortunately we had to put him down at 14 years old this past June. Otis was an incredible dog and member of the family. I could not keep him out of the water. He would break through skim ice to swim and swim for hours. He looked like he was part Polar Bear. He was happiest when it was wet and cold and he was retrieving. The best advice I can give you is make sure you secure anything edible. Otis was a freakin Houdini when it came to getting at food when nobody was around. I have lots of funny stories. One time he ate an entire box of rawhide treats he retrieved from the cabinet. The next day was not a pleasant one for him trying to pass a softball size ball of partially chewed rawhides. On the other extreme was the stick of butter he stole from the counter. No problem passing that. Good luck with Chopper. The English Lab is a fantastic breed.

I know what you mean. My first lab Buddy was a terror with water too. He could always find some type of water to get into at the worst possible time. We had to put him down when he was 13... it took me over 10 years to bring myself to get another "Chopper". I'm not going to let that happen this time.... when Chopper turns 5 or so we will get another one so he can train him and I won't swear that I will never get another dog again when Chopper passes.

Chopper has been great so far.... he only chews his toys... unlike Buddy who ate everything in the house including the kitchen cabinets.
