hah i have a Pomeranian Yorkie mix, and hes about 10 yrs old. def doesnt act it though. but, he will lick the couch, his own paws for literally hours at a time. when we go to bed, he will lick his bed, start smacking his lips together (with that really annoying wet lip/tongue sound) as if he is parched and letting you know out loud (yet he has a full bowl of water). He will lick and smack loudly throughout the entire night. its an extremely annoying sound to hear when you try to sleep. he literally does it, ALL NIGHT LONG. if we move him into another room, he will whine. well,not “whine” more like a frequency. his whine is like hearing your ears ring but louder lol. i’m not sure which route to use with this since hes MAINLY licking his hands and his own mouth lol.

I have 2 female Blue Heelers (sisters). One is calm and a tad aloof and very “all-together”. Her sister who aspires to be the Alpha is a nut-case. She is the sweetest girl and loves EVERYONE. So much so she rushes to any person she sees, jumps as high as she can and plants a big wet kiss right on their mouths. Some people find it cute, some are a bit taken aback and some – she knocks over – usually a small child which I am mortified at. She will not take any notice of anything. She is anything if not a single-minded creature…. Her worst trait is the licking…second one is to following me EVERYWHERE. Now I know that is a dog thing and many dogs trot along happily behind their owners wherever they go – but her sister and my little year-old Chihuahua don’t do it. She just feels the need….and hates me out of her sight. But the licking is incessant and now – after almost 5 years I’m getting to the point where I’ve totally run out of ideas and tricks and am at the end of my tether. She will not listen to one word of admonishment and is totally unfazed when I raise my voice. I hate to yell at her but at times it is the only thing that works. I’m the only one she does it with….and she has this blank look on her face as she’s doing it – it’s just pure habit – one that I have no idea how to break…..

My dog has the announcer lick ever.Whenever somebody gets close to him all he does is lick,lick,lick.Sometimes I teach him to lick a wall or his brother so he will not lick humans.What’s really aggravating is him trying to lick an females body or tail.I have no idea how I’m going to survive with this nonsense so I’ll try to be reallycalm to Solomon,my dog

My schnauzer/pug mix licks my other 2 dogs and my husbands/males hair obsessively. he used to do it more to my other male dog mostly around the eyes and ears (which is ok because I rarely ever have to clean his eyes and his ears are always clean) but he is obsessively licking my female dogs eyes,feet and ears and then whimpers like hes hurt when hes doing it. He constantly licks my husbands hair and any male visitors that we have. I tell him no all the time and punish him when he does not obey. He is a freak of nature and likes the lemon juice and biter apple that ive tried. any more advise? anyone? its driving me nuts!

I have a pit bull mix and she loves to constantly lick. There are times were she acts like she can not stop what she is doing. When I tell her to stop that makes her more crazy. Also if I yell or act like she is hurting me thats when she licks me in the mouth (she is very good at that. . .she also does that to guests which is very embarrassing as an owner.) Eventually she’ll get tired and stop. I have tried everything even hot sauce and still nothing but I have noticed as she is getting older (shes now 2) she is not doing it as much but it is still annoying!

My new girlfriend seems to need and like her dog to excessively and constantly lick her. I think this is a strange need and she refuses to untrain the dog, and I do not want to be around this abnormal behavior – that is, her having a need for it. Am I wacko??

I’m not talking about licking people (he does that too) what he does is just sit there and stick out his tongue for no apparent reason
