water question


Instead of keeping 6 bowls of water down I decided to buy one of the automatic waterers.  It's a 5 gallon one.  Here's my predicament.  Tucker is afraid of it.  He's afraid of it when it bubbles.  He's afraid of everything so I should have thought of this before I bought it but I didn't.  He does drink out of it but he only takes a few sips and than he runs.  He does this several times a day.  I've only had it for 2 days.  I want him to get used to it because, I'm not sure about Tucker yet, but Toby isn't anywhere near as messy with this as he was the regular bowls.  Do you think he's getting enough water?  He also drinks out of the flower pots that have filled with water from the rain outside.  I want him to get used to this waterer thing because with the 6 dogs I was filling the bowls up 20 times a day.  What do you all think?

When I first got mine all of mine were affarid of it. After awhile they all got used to and now they are all fine. It took sometime but they all came around. Give him some time and i'm sure he'll be OK with it.

Thanks Stormy!  Now that I know other dogs were afraid of it and than got used to it I'm willing to give it more time.
