[HELP] My dog intentionally spills his water and scratches on the floor after. A big mess.

I have a 1.5-year-old mix of golden retriever and giant poodle.

He has always played with his drinking water, but it wasn't as messy at first. As a puppy, he used to blow bubbles into the water, and that would be it.

But now that he's much older, I noticed that when he wants to drink water, he uses his paw to knock the bowl over and then scratches the floor all over the puddle.

For reference, there are 3 water bowls all over the house available for him. He likes to do it the most in the bowl inside my room, where he stays most of the time.

So for instance, I'll put water in for the night so he can drink anytime he feels thirsty. It won't always be empty in the morning, so when we get back from a morning walk he'll drink water downstairs, but then when he gets up, he'll play with the water upstairs. Is it because it's less fresh? LOL. I don't know. He is so weird.
