Constant licking can be an obsessive behavior Kind of like tail chasing It's a form of self-consolation like when a child thumb sucks The best way to calm it down is to keep the dog active and busy so he doesn't get into that licking mode |
Toby will lick the skin off of your face if you let him. He doesn't lick furniture and stuff he just loves to give kisses. He can drive you nuts. He was not taken from his mamma early so that is not it in his case. He is just a needy little bugger. Very affectionate and always wanting to be cuddled. A whole club of little lickers...:p |
This is gross, but Mia loves to lick my sons feet... He gets a good foot massage every weekend when he comes to visit...:) but the weird part is that she only likes one foot. If he sticks the other one up for her to lick, she won't, but quickly goes back to the one she likes.:confused: Ever heard of that?:animal36 |
my darling is licking the floor now and has been for the last 15 mins. i googled "yorkie likes to lick carpet" and the forum came up. don't know why i didn't think to come here first anyway. she loves to lick the carpet! she'll lick me to death if i let her. she's perfectly healthy. she's just a licker i guess. :D |
i hate the licking of the hands, the arms, the fingernails, the ... ugh no licking! you get use to it but it grosses me out. you know what else grosses me out? he goes after socks, and underwear! dirty OR clean! they can be in the hamper and he is in there digging through the holes trying to get it out.. or licking at them from the outside in... what the heck! |
My Fletcher is the same way, he will lick and smell everything pretty much. I don't see him licking floors too often, but he'll lick sheets, blankets, clothing, and most else in between. Your baby does sound a little obsessive though. I thought Fletch licked a lot but your baby licks wayyyy more! |
Lillie was a licker but she has grown out of it much. She liked EVERYTHING the first 3 weeks that I had her. I mean EVERYTHING. I had to keep an eagle eye on her! She has since then, grown out of it. I got her at around 3 months (now 4 1/2 months) and she quit about 3 weeks into her new home. Another thing that she quit doing is POO EATING! That just grossed me out! I did try giving her one little piece of pineapple and she won't even touch the stuff now! I love YT! HAHA! :animal36 |
My late Binky was the licker of all lickers. Like yours--everything! He lived to be 17. His late co-companian never liked anything excessively. When you get one, you get one. Just get used to wet furniture. |
lol, My Finnigan is a licker too! Body parts, toys, clothes, blankets... he's a licker! He even knows we call his licking "kisses" and will start licking when you say the word... |
