    Lmao @ that photo.

    Thanks for the tips guys. Yesterday I tried something new, I did a few minutes of training and then threw him in the pool (he goes in himself but he was taking ages) and once he got out he drank. I'm thinking maybe entering water is somehow reminding him that he needs to drink. I'll give it another go tonight.

    Nathan, the spray bottle is a great idea. I'm going to try it today, I also think I might be able to get him to drink water from a watergun. He loves moving water and if I squirt him in the face with something 99.9% of the time he drinks it. I didn't consider it before now but will try the spray bottle first.

    Yeah, I am hating him being black now that summer has hit :P Luckily he just goes to sleep at the back of his run when it's hot though. It's odd, he barks to get out of his run but as soon as I let him out and leave the yard he goes back in there himself to sleep.

    I didnt realise you can use sponge/spray.
    mine wont eat/drink when working either. So dont train on those days over 30.
