I know cats tend to be more fussy about water so this tends to be associated with cat more then dogs but..
what about a pet water fountain?
Back when we had our cat I had one for her (and she adored it.) I loved the fact that she drank a whole lot more, and I was able to get a little less concerned about kidney issues. Now that I have Winston who is pretty picky about his water I am considering another drinkwell (I always went for the drinkwell over the others because it combines the free-fall stream and the running surface water and some seem to prefer one over the other.)
I had the drinkwell platinum for several years and I loved it... it might be worth a shot for trying to get your little guy to drink more water. (As an aside, if you have a Petsmart near you they are great about their satisfaction guarantee so you can really return it if he doesn't like it or you feel it doesn't make a difference.)
