Oh no! Whatever you do, don't yell at him. It will break his spirt! Let's just think about this for a second: dogs can't reach up and wipe with toliet paper after they potty. Yelling at him is like someone yelling at you for taking a shower or wiping after you use the bathroom. If you really don't like him cleaning himself, do what I did with my female dog Zoe, clean him with a regular baby wipe after he uses the bathroom. He will actually wait for you to clean him once he gets used to it. Please consider what I am saying, I really think this will work for you. |
my pup licks his crotch, his ass, all four legs. i asked the vet about it, and she said it's just his way of grooming, there's nothing to correct about that behavior. well, be as it may, it's still gross especially if he gives you kisses later on. so i just make it a habit now to wipe him with a damp paper towel or baby wipes afterwards. he used to run away from me with i approached him with a paper towel, but he's getting more used to it now and will stay still as i wipe. not squirm and back up like he used to. and i have the comfort of not being grossed out when he kisses me. now if only he'd quit licking his own urine and eating is poop. now THAT is NASTY!!! |
it's just something they do, but if he is very chronic about licking his private parts, you might ask your vet about allergies and think about having him tested. A lot of people have no clue about dogs and allergies and a lot of the crap that is in their food that can cause big time reactions. And licking at himself can be a big indicator. |
