bottle or bowl?

quick question, do most of you guys use water bowls or water bottles for your corgi? Our Wally LOVES to play with his water and step in his water bowl, which of course turns it all murky and dirty. would it be a better idea to have a water bottle attached to his crate instead?

I hope Wally eventually outgrows it too because he always makes such a mess =T

Dexter plays with his water also...

I purchased a water bottle for him but I just don't think he can get enough water out of it so I haven't moved away from the water bowl yet.

Is there anything that can be done to stop them from playing with their water bowl?

Steve used to play with any pool of water he saw (water bowl, kiddie pool, sprinkler, hose) when he was younger. He loves baths so much that he'll jump into the tub after I finish towel drying him.
I initially got a water bottle but it didn't seem to quench his thirst and it also leaked after only 1.5weeks. So, I got the Snap'y Fit 2Qt bowl (you can find it at the PetSmart store or online). I put it high enough that he can't get his paw inside to splash around but he can comfortably drink out of it. The snap'y fit bowl has worked out great!

I know someone that used tupperware to stop this. She put the lid on and cut a hole for the dogs nose to drink, then attached it to the floor (actually a heavy piece of wood). The dog figured it out and drank and eventually when she removed the lid he stopped playing in it.

Cruise is driving us nuts...he routinely tips his water bowl over and spills the entire bowl. We have tried heavy bowls and even the kind that hold a reservoir of water (that one he tipped and chewed it when we were not home. Any suggestions?
