I will change his tank around and clean it up. I give him fresh food and water, and when I put him back into his tank he will fill his water dish full of dirt and throw his food and the dish every where! Is this his why of telling me he is pissed or am I doing something wrong and how can I break him of this crazy messy anoying habbit?

Some beardies will do this, it's pretty normal, but a little annoying.
You could switch the bedding to lizard carpeting (essentially the same thing as outdoor carpeting). You just need to scoop the poop off of it and then wash it once a week. Easy and he can't make a mess.

lol many beardies do this cause of change, stress, or for amusment. you shouldn't be using dirt for his substrate tho. sand is what i always recomned. i line the bottom of the food and water dish with a very fine mesh net, so i can quickly just take the sand out of the water.

I do not suggest sand for impaction reason but many many people use it without any problem. try putting in his food and water after he redecorates just to save you some time. it is perfectly natural behavior for some dragons.

play sand is the best substrate I also use aspen shavings adn my beardie often (daily LOL) throws stuff around! He loves to rearrange his food dishes, and diggs in the sand he also hides in his hide and drags bedding in front so you cant see him. they are funny creatures
