My Pet World: Helping a timid pup gain confidence about his world

Cathy M. Rosenthal, Tribune Content Agency on

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify product usage. We don't want Marcy to think the correction is for her when it's for Rebecca. So, the product should be used where Rebecca can hear it and see it more clearly than Marcy, but never directly in Rebecca’s face. Hope that helps.

Dear Cathy,

I read about the "Slopper Stopper Water Bowl" in your column. I have a 130-pound "St. Dane" and a 120-pound "Labernard." Boy, did they make a mess before. I tried the bowl, and it works amazingly well! I bought another for my house and one for my sister who has two goldendoodles.

Dear Angela,

Letters from other readers indicate that it works better with some dogs than others. But, in all cases, it reduces the amount of water left on the floor. So, it's definitely worth a try with a sloppy drinker. So glad it’s working for you.
