[Mom to Hot Rod]

I do a couple of things. It's the hot weather I put a second bowl of water out for them. Then I will usually tell them to drink water when we come back in from out walks, especially on warm days. It does work. I tell them to, "drink water or get water" and the will do so. I just started doing it one day after a walk on a hot day and they've listened ever since. It's like it made them feel better so they know that when I tell them, it will be something good for them.

Sometimes where we get to playing, I will tell them to go get some water and they will. If I am doing tricks and treating them, I make them go get water also.

They just learned to listen about drinking water when I tell them to. They make just take on lap of it but they go and drink at least. lol
