I offer an awesome online dog training course, which includes access to an array of exclusive videos and content, personalized coaching, journaling, and in-depth mentoring and evaluation by yours truly!

    Wow I never realized that dogs lapped water like that. Thank you so much for sharing.
    Our mastiff drinks about 3 gallons of water per day.
    We keep our hose water with small round sprinkler on low throughout the day. Not only does he get water but the lawn gets watered at the same time. And since he constantly drools in his water and wants his water fresh, the outside water sprinkler comes in really handy.

    Good evening Stonnie!! This is a great topic; thank you for sharing it!! This is sooooo important for the pooches!
    We live in the Colorado mountains. So, my dog is out on a long range movement, at least, 4 times per week. In the spring, we generally have decent water sources frequently for the dog due to the snow melt. But once July comes, that run off comes to a trickle or dries up.
    I have a very similar system that you discussed: a collapsible rubber bowl, and we (the dog and I) carry 1 liter Nalgene bottles. I have a long hair german shepherd who greatly misses the snow in the summer time. We stop every 30-45 minutes for a water break. He will drink up to a 3/4 of a liter on every stop; especially if we are on a higher trail above treeline and he is in the direct sun for a few hours in addition to our elevation climbing.
    I also carry a small water purifier pump in the event I have to give the dog water that was originally for me.
    His most recent long range movement was about 20 miles over 2 14000ft mountains. Fortunately, at the bottom of each of those climbs were an active stream to resupply our water.
    Safe adventuring!!

    @mdelashmitt5067 3 роки тому

    You can go to most grocery store deli departments and ask them to hold an icing bucket for you. The buckets are 1 gallon food safe plastic with a water tight lid. Problem solved LOL. They last about a year before the handle breaks and then you take the handle off and cut a hole in the bottom and it becomes a dog toy, unless your dog likes to chew them up. You also drill a 1/2 inch hole an inch or so up the side and grow catnip in them. Rub the catnip on exposed flesh and your dogs coat to repel biting insects. Catnip isn't a substitute for flea and tick prevention and heart worm prevention, it reduces the number of bites keeping your pet more comfortable. Sorry for the long winded comment.

    I go rather low tech. Since, I don't go for too long (2--4 hours) I have just one liter with me in a metal bottle. I don't need to drink and rather dehydrate myself a bit to keep me from getting soft. When hydrate my dog, I just make a cup with my hand and tip the bottle just enough to fill my hand. My dog gets to drink out of my hand and a little bit out of the bottle (with a bigger opening).
    And because my hands are wet I have the perfect opportunity to wet my dogs coat to cool her off.
