Behavior

>is this normal?
Yes. Dogs eat and drink from these bowls, so they consider them "thiers" to do with as they please. If my dog wants to get my attention that her water bowl is empty she throws her stainless bowl around my tile kitchen. Literally picks it up with her mouth, throws her head back and let's go. Then she stands in the kitchen and looks at me. Bossy little bitch.

Is there anything I can do about this? I have to keep him in the backyard rn and the bowl repeatedly falls into the pool, and I'm worried for his teeth.

Assuming the dog is just not crying out for attention, it could just be playful. Put some better chew toys out for it, and regular exercises and socialization to correct bad behavior.

He doesn't seem to like chew toys, and I walk him regularly. He doesn't really like to play all that much, socialization has ended badly with other dogs and people.

Ok, when left alone they will resort to destructive behavior, such as chewing on stainless water and food bowls. If you honestly don't think the dog is being neglected, then again get him a toy that will get his attention. Or start using plastic dog dishes. Better yet, elevate the dishes and secure them so he can't pick them up.

Pretty much this. Exercise him more, give him more stimulation, and secure down the bowls.

Also teach him "drop it" and if you catch him in this behavior, tell him drop it. Dogs are smart. He'll catch on.
