Recommendations or advice for a water bowl diver?

We recently adopted our first basset hound, Otis. I understand the breed is notorious for being sloppy water drinkers, but Otis seems to take it to another level, so I’m hoping others have some ideas to help.

When Otis drinks, he likes to put his entire muzzle in the bowl, having a grand ole time slurping and blowing bubbles, so about half of the water ends up all over the floor and what remains in the bowl gets filthy almost immediately.

I’ve tried a no spill bowl with the floating disc, but he just pushes the disc down with his nose. Have also tried a no spill bowl with the lid and small opening but he can still get his nose in deep enough to slosh the water all over. Placing a mat under the bowl is also a no-go, as he likes to drag it through the house until the bowl flips over. I’m out of ideas at this point.

Sweetest little chunk ever (besides when he’s playing with our boxer and bites her hard; that’s a work in progress at the moment), but I’ve never had a pup that was so determined to nose dive into the water every chance they got!
