licking

Question
When we pet our dog,she wont stop licking us?

Answer
This can be behavioral or medical. Most of the time this is a submissive behavior. If you live in a warm climate you may actually taste good to your dog since perspiration tends to be salty. If your dog was removed from its mother too soon that could also be the cause but you should start to curb the behavior with firm refusal of acceptance and the WHOLE family has to be on the same page. That means you all have to refuse to let it lick you. A firm no should work when done consistently. If that doesn't work you will have to make it go sit else where or leave. It doesn't mean you can't pet your dog but it has to be on human not dog terms.  It can be done just check with your vet that this is not some form of vitamin deficiency.
