QuestionWhat can I do to keep my four year old boxer from licking?? She licks us our clothes the air and anything in between.
Please help.
AnswerThis would appear to be a nervous disorder.
You will need to provide more exercise and a calmer atmosphere for her.
More playtime and running time in the fenced back yard, more leash walks, swimming if possible, and a calm home environment.
Offer her the KONG toys filled with peanut butter to keep her attention and satisfy her licking.
Discourage her liking you and clothing- anything, with using a dog-clicker to signal the behavior, and substitute the habit with an alternative; a Nylon bone, KONG toy, going outside a moment, etc.
