Full Question:
I have a question about drinking water as it pertains to the groundwork/pack structure phase of training. I work nights 9pm - 7 am. When I get home at 7, I wait about 20 minutes and then feed my dog. Regarding water, should I keep water in the crate when the dog is in the crate? Or should I put a dish of water in the crate several times a day and then take the dog out to go pottie after they have drank? What would you do? 
Cindy's Answer:
I would probably make sure the dog had water in the crate UNLESS I was having housetraining issues or real dominance problems in which case I would offer water on a regular basis when I was present. You could also add water to the food to make sure the dog is staying hydrated.
