help! Can anyone explain to me why my 3yr old female yorkie all of a sudden licking my 7yr old female toy poodle back its driving me nuts?! |
Do you mean she is licking the poodle's back? I'm sorry I was a little confused. Is your poodle spayed? |

She is grooming her and that is what submissive dogs do to one that is an alpha |
I suggest you take the older dog to the Vet. If this is a new behavior, I would get the poodle checked. I know dogs can smell things we can't. I have told several stories about dogs sniffing out cancer, broken bones, and blood sugar crashes. Maybe the older dog is in pain, sick or has something going on. True it could be submissive behavior. But I doubt it, because fawning submissive behavior is mostly done to the alfa dogs face. Putting a head or paw on a dogs back is almost always to show domination. Please up date us. |

My one yorkie had allergies and my other one would lick his back.., I think he was trying to fix or help him. |
Do you have any babies or small kids that could be dropping food down on top of the dogs? |
