Best water solution for dog park?

I have never used one of these nozzles, but maybe someone who has used one can say how well they work--or don't work. If they don't work, my idea is no good. I didn't use one attached to the spigot. I used one attached to a big bottle. It was supposed to be "self vacuum sealing", which did NOT work very well. I used it attached to the crate, when moving from the US to Germany. I attached the "original water bowl" directly under that bottle as some "catchment tank". I didn't want my dog to lie on a wet blanket. When I got my dog back (after ~ 12 hours) the "catchment tank" was full and the blanket was a little wet under the bottle. It also was constantly dripping in the living room, when I trained my dog to use it (she did not like to put her tongue on metal). With car and plane movements, the dripping - of course - became even worse. However, I think with having enough pressure from a water pipe against the metal ball (which you don't have in a bottle), it might be working very well. In the backyard we also had one of those "self-filling" bowls, attached to the hose. That bowl (plastic) showed very quickly very nasty sediments. So, I am back to "normal bowls", refilled several times each day, which is not practicable in a dog park. I think Janet's idea of "bring your own" and/or have a "refill station for humans" could be a good (and simple to do) solution. Bye Marion |

clicked their heels and said: In the backyard we also had one of those "self-filling" bowls, attached to the hose. That bowl (plastic) showed very quickly very nasty sediments we have one - we're on the 2nd generation. It gets swished out regularly - either by hand or paw ;-D. I got one the first summer in this house - otherwise they drink out of the inground pool! -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bestfr...bedience/album |
