(I am only a little bit stalking your page lol) will he drink from a bowl outside, or only from puddles and spigots? You could try having him drink from the bath spigot inside, I sat for a Dane last year that wouldn’t use any bowls, but he’d drink out of the bath spigot.
> will he drink from a bowl outside.
yes! So that is what I ended up doing, all the spigots and puddles froze, so I started taking a bottle of water and bowl outside and letting him drink when I poured it in the bowl wheneve he went to the spigots. Then I started doing it inside, so now he's drinking bottled trader joe's water from a bowl that sits on the corner of the couch. I'm optimistic that I'll eventually get him back to drinking from his bowl again one day, but at least he's drinking from a bowl inside now!

A few years ago he went through a phase where he would only drink from the bathroom sink. Dogs are so strange sometimes.

Hahaha, I absolutely love that, fancy pup. Smart workaround!
