Eating Water?

Im having a problem with Tikaani. He is now 13 months old and has a growing habit (probably taught by a norty PRT called Toby!) of not drinking his water but 'eating' it.
Paws go in the bowl and his whole nose, he eats it like he's been in the Siberian desert for 6 months without water!
With it eaten he then takes the surplus to wherever he goes next, needless to say me & the kids run for cover!
Any ideas why he does this and how to stop it?
From a very wet Luz!

maybe cause hes thirsty........lol
sure there isnt a bit of leo in him.
hm pass if you find out let me know!

Ya think its a man thing?

probably....as they do seem to take in a lot of liquid.

wow + i thought it was just my misty who did that hes done it since he was a pup + i gave up on trying to change him from doing this + he makes a right mess once he came running over just after + put his mouth right by my leg + i ended up looking like i wee'd myself .i havent got a clue why he does or how to stop him so sorry i cant help

But thanks to you both for reassuring me its not just my male that does it.

misty is a male dog + i have harvey who is male but he doesnt i think its really werid

Maybe he been watching Mummy drinking

Seriously though have ya tried putting something in his dish so he has to drink around it?

like a ball..............lol

I used to put ice cubes in the water bowl in the summer, maybe he is still searching for them. And aherm Mr Taylor I drink out of a glass!
