Some reasons why dogs turn over their water bowls include: Water is old or has something in it, Bowl is dirty, Bowl was moved from its normal location, Dog sees a threat or other problem, She's bored and wants attention. If you don't change your water once or twice daily, it can get debris in it, especially if you have a dusty house. If the water is near a vent, it can attract even more dust — a heating vent or sunny window can raise the water temperature. Dogs like routine and don't like their bed, toys, or bowls to be moved. If you've recently added a water filter to your faucet or occasionally empty the last of your bottled water into the bowl, these new sources of water might be the problem. Look for patterns, Is she doing it at the same time of day, Is she doing it right before or after being fed, Is another pet using the bowl.
