[blparent] 15 Month old loves the dog's water bowl

Wed Aug 7 18:43:15 UTC 2013

Well I don't know if giving them their own will work for your child
but my 2 year old baby girl likes to have things that is not hers even
if she has her own everything. My suggestion is if you have a house
dog, then put the bowl in another room where it is closed off from
your 15 montg and give your dog access to the bowl alone in whatever
time increment that you feel is necessary. Even if this does not work
at first and your dog does not drink the water when he/she is given
the opportunity, the dog will eventually notice that he/she is given
limited access and will began to drink when you give them the
opportunity to do so.

Best,
Tamika Williams
