| Mouth licking?? Could someone please tell me what is means when a dog licks the inside of another dogs mouth? Both my males lick the inside of my females mouth, I don't know why they do this but the guys are happy when they do this they seem to want to play with her She sometimes gets upset as they keep it up till I make them stop. Other times I'll see her tail wagging. I've looked in books and never saw this behavior talked about.

| My dogs will lick each others mouths- they both initiate it at different times. I don't know why they do it- I just figured it was their way of showing affection.

| Magnus licks Zoey a lot... Not just inside the mouth though. He licks her EVERYWHERE. I think it depends on the circumstances but from what I've read so far, it's a dominance thing(?) where the one that's doing the licking is saying s/he's submissive towards the one receiving. Or it could be a nurturing thing... I can't remember what I read on that part though. |

| Callie and my moms male yorkie dont lick the inside of each other mouth but they lick the outside. Sometimes either one starts it and occasionally if one of them is grumpy they will make a scrunchie face. But I have no idea what it means.

| Doodlebug does this to Bogey while he is laying on his back I'd love to know to what it means if anything. They have only recently started doing this too.

| Don't know what it means but all 4 of mine lick each other all the time. Doesn't matter to them when, where or why. I have 2 males and 2 females. I thought they just love each other a whole lot. Good Question

| Jada and Bogie sit and lick each others faces all the time. Bogie is usually the instigator. I have alway wondered why they do it. I usually say they are giving each other sugar when they are doing it
