We have 3 & one, Keegan, is a licker. He'll lick anything. I just put it down to his personality.

WELCOME!!!!

Hi and welcome to YT. Maybe it will get better now that she is not a shut in. Be patient and when you see her licking something not desirable give her a toy or something else to lick. Her own favorite blanket that she can lick and when she starts licking something you don't want her too just give her the blanket or something else. It may take some time and patients but I think it will help. Again welcome to YT glad to have you hear.

I had a black lab that would LICK everything, Fiona on the other hand, she isn't a big licker, just take it as a personality trait!

Sophie licks anything in sight too! Pillows, blankets, etc. I always give her something better, but it is strange!

Peanut is a licker too!!

Gross story one night last week I had a bloody nose at night and it was very slight, well like a dime size amount was on my pillow and I didnt notice, I got up got ready for work and I noticed Peanut was still in my bed... well I went to go get him out and he was licking my pillow... which I really didnt think twice because he always licks things... well I was going to go grab him and get him ready to go to work with me and my whole PILLOW WAS WET!!He licked the blood spot and all around it!!

LoL

Yes I have a licker!!

As far as I can tell, Samantha has been a licker from birth!

She is 6 years old now.

Ahhhh! I was going to post this and ask the same thing! Lillie is such a little licker! I mean, EVERYTHING! She licks the floor, sticks, mirrors, fingers, you NAME it, she licks it. Its funny too because my fiance and I renamed her "Lillie Licker".

She's my first pup so I'm relieved to hear that it happens to others too because I'm like "She's gonna lick something nasty and get sick!" Jonathan always tells me "It's what dogs do!!" Lillie also sniffs CONSTANTLY. Even when she just goes to the bathroom, she sniffs, sniffs and licks everything. When I take her outside, I'm out there for an hour and a half until she does her thing because shes too busy lickin' or sniffin'!

Tia is a licker and she sucks on my finger when she is tired , a bit like a soother lol

Yup, Biscuit is also a licker.

For the past few months I've been trying to distract him while he licks... it has only slightly improved things

Snickers not only licks everything but will try to eat everything in site!!!!! He climbed in the shower scared me to death well when I dropped the soap her took off with it and started eating it! I swear I have to watch him like hawk..
