I just wanted to say that watching your dog's water intake is not cruel and unusual punishment. I had to do this with one of my girls when she was a puppy and would do it again to any puppy if the problem arises again. Some puppies don't know when to stop and (this has happened to me) will drink three bowls of water in one sitting and possibly damage their bladder, become insanely bloated, become water sick, and vomit water. Keep in mind she was a healthy girl and their was absolutely nothing wrong with her when she did this; she just didn't know when to push herself away from the water bowl. Of course when she became an adult she knew then when enough was enough. Among other things it is not cruel if you restrict water to a
certain extent to help with potty issues. Sorry to get of topic but I had to put my two cents in about that.
