<b>Dogs always prefer fresh, running water!</b><br> This new and improved Pet Laugh Step-On Dog Water Fountain gives your dog access to cold, fresh water throughout the day. <br> The Water Fountain is highly durable and easy to install; it simply attaches to your hose or faucet, and is made from solid brass and heavy gauge steel to ensure trouble-free operation. <br>The Dog Water Fountain is easy to use. With the minimal amount of training your dog will soon be able to enjoy a refreshing drink whenever they are thirsty. <br> The outdoor hydration system shoots a continuous stream of water whenever your dog steps on the paddle. <br> Ideally, it is best to begin training your dog when they are particularly thirsty; start by pushing the paddle down with your hand or foot and allowing your pet to drink. <br>When your dog attempts to drink from the fountain once more place their paws on the paddle; repeat this several times until your dog is comfortable using the fountain. It can also be helpful to have your dog approach from the front; you can do this by placing obstacles at the rear and sides of the fountain until your pet is fully trained. <br>Always locate the Dog Water Fountain in a shaded area. <br> This premium product is similar to the ‘Doggie Fountain’, but <b> the valve is made from copper to ensure that the flow of water is much more stable.</b> In addition, the pipe hose is now 40 inches in length, and the flow of water is variable depending on the amount of pressure applied to the paddle. This means that the Water Fountain is suitable for both small and large dogs. This product is also heavier than its predecessor, weighing in at 4 pounds so is far more stable.
