Why do Yorkies lick? I've come to the conclusion that Eddie licks because he's bored. He's trying to get my attention. For anyone else with a licker, what's your guess? |
I think it's a security thing maybe ? Chanel LOVES to lay and just lick the crook of my arm....she closes her eyes and it's almost like she's nursing lol - I had a cat that was taken from her mom too soon and she would lick SO bad she gave hickeys.... |
When Sissy licks deeply without stopping, it is usually a sign that she is thirsty. If I get a small dixie cup of water, she will take a big drink and stop licking. There are times where she licks just because she likes to lick!! |
I have two that lick, but they only lick my son. They would lick for hours if I'd let them. Not sure what the reasoning behind it is, but they don't lick my husband or I very much at all, just my son. :) |
Dougal Licks himself when he's depressed or bored. I went away on holiday last year when I came back he'd licked the skin off on little spots on his forelegs!! :eek: :thumbdown :( :( With Dixie on the other hand its a dominance thing. She'll leap on a person and lick and lick their nose and mouth - a trainer once said she's not being cuddly she's saying "kiss me now B*tch". I notice she'll do it to dougal and other dogs that she wants to boss. But I imagine that Dixie being pushy comes as no surprise to anyone! :D :p |

Jo licks his feet when he's getting ready to go to sleep. I thought it was food allergies so I switched his food...he still licks his feet but his coat looks great! |
I think with Jewels it is just a habit. She licks all the time. She might be nervous i dont know |
Charlie licks and licks and licks... Just people though. Arms, hands, feet, faces, doesn't matter to him. He'd go for hours if you let him. Why he does it, who knows, but it's annoying and we're trying to break him of it. |
Maybe they like the salty taste. I just think it is a sign of affection. |
some lick to get the salt from your skin, some lick there selfs cos they are bored and can be a nerves thing but others lick just cos they love you, after sasha had tye and zac she started washing me too lol she would wash my hands and arms and if i took them away she would get upset, tye and zac give only kisses, annie will give my hand a few licks if im stroking her just to say i love you and brandi will lick any bit of your skin if it goes anywhere near her face just to say i love you and i think it makes her feel better.:) |
OH I'VE GOT A LICKER TOO!!! Lucy licks my hands, my toes, my face...but it doesn't stop there. She licks the RUG (!!!!????), my sheets...where ever she happens to be hanging out. Not tile or wood floors...just rug areas. Very persistent too. When licking the rug she licks the same spot until it separates...I was wondering what she's looking for? I was JUST about to put the question out there to others!!! DOES ANYBODY KNOW if this might be indicative of allergies?? I try to stop her when I see her licking the rug....:animal-pa |
Piper doesn't lick much, but her sissy Misha which is a full Maltese gives me a bath at night. When it is time for bed Misha will lay next to me licking my arm, until I tell her to stop. I thought it was the salty taste she liked, because when she is done she drinks a lot of water. |
I've got a licker here too!:wavey: I don't mind the oh I'm so happy to see you lick when I pick him up but I don't like the slow methodical there's no reason to be licking licks :animal36 . I always try and say no and discourage it. I have a small scratch on my leg and he always wants to lick that too. Someone told me dogs have something on their tongues that heal cuts but I don't know about that. I stick with the Neosporin!:) |
I have a licker too. Sprout loves to give kisses, you can't pick him up without getting kisses. My other three aren't lickers. Sprout is also a chewer, wonder if that has anything to do with licking. |
Why, because I'm so SWEET of course!!!! :D :D :D |
I always wondered this same question. I think they lick for the salt on are skin, cause I notice when I'm more sweaty, she wants to lick that sweat. but the BIG question is why do they lick up are NOSE ?????????? LOL |

I have a serious licker also..He licks anyone who will let him, but Mostly me. He licks my face then brush my face with his paw...he wil do this repeatedly, if I didn't have to stop him. I think he is grooming me:eek: |
Gia licks too, but the only time she licks herself is to clean herself after using potty....She'll lick me, my Mom, and my fiancé to death if you let her...she also likes to nibble on my fiancé's ears ...:D |
It's really simple!! Because they CAN!!!! |

I have the same problem. Roxie starting licking the rug, sheets etc.... about 6 months months ago and will lick until the sheet is one big wet spot, but now has moved to licking her legs/paws about a month ago. The only change I have made recently is adding a supplement to her food. Maybe I will discontinue that and see if that is the problem with licking herself. I am not sure what I can do about the rug/sheets?? She is due for shot in another week so I will ask the vet!:confused: |
I like to think that Vivi licks me because she loves me. She will randomly look up at me when I am holding her and give me a kiss. If I am on the couch she will crawl up my body to kiss me on the face. She has always been a kisser and I picked her out of the other puppies because she made such an effort to kiss me. I love kissy dogs:) |
Remy will lick occasionally to my face but will lick strangers or friends right away, im assuming to just say hi to them or get their scent. I think its for attention or just kisses to show their appreciation. After they do something they think is bad, I heard its a way of making it up to you. When Remy knows I'm leaving for work, he'll lick me like crazy so I won't leave and when he wakes up, he also licks my face, I'm assuming for me to get up to play with him or just letting me know he's up. |
I have 2 lickers. I'm not sure why. They do lick more if your sweaty. |
Annabelle likes to lick the inside of my nose!:eek: |
I love when Coco gets really into it and won't let you move your head cause she's licking so fast. It's like those high school boyfriends that wouldn't let you breath...lol..She loves sticking her tongue in my nose in the wee hours of the morning and her favorite is to put her paws on my cheeks and proceed to make out :D I LOVE IT!!!!:p |
I love the kisses, but sometimes enough is enough! Sometimes I feel like I'm being licked to death. How do you stop them from licking so much? I've also heard that it's a way for them to release energy. |
Max is a licker. When he starts licking he doesn't stop..even when his tongue gets dry. I call him a little lover--he will kiss and kiss and kiss ANYBODY ANYWHERE. He's a little too free with his love. I'm glad he's neutered otherwise I'd be worried about him :eek: Abbie is the complete opposite. She's not 'easy' like Max :D. She is very selective in who and what she will kiss and it's always on her terms. If she doesn't feel like kissing, you could sit nose to nose with her for HOURS and she will not give you even a hint of a lick. She likes to snuggle..as long as she's close to you, she's happy. |
Kizzy loves to lick me especially just after I shower. I guess its the smell of my after bath or my lotion. She likes the lotion on my legs if I let her. |
