Beagle licks Dachshund

19 10:28:41

Question
We have a 4 year old Beagle (female). We got her as a pup. We then got a cat (female) kitten. And for the two years we had her, the dog would lick her butt whenever she got the chance. She would get obsessive about it. When the cat would climb up where the dog could not get to her, the dog would whine. She would follow her everywhere too. So we gave the cat to another family thinking it couldn't be good for her to be licked all the time. We thought it had something to do with scent: like maybe her scent reminded the Beagle of a rabbit or something. But last month, we rescued a 5 year old Dachshund (female). It has been over a year since we gave the cat away. But after about a week, the dog started licking the rescued dog. Needless to say, the rescued dog keeps trying to get away - usually coming to me - but the Beagle just keep s after her in the same pattern as the cat. What should we do? I have tried to draw her attention away, flick her nose, and clap my hands when she is doing it - nothing sways her. I love them both. Please help!


Answer
A water bottle may help,spray the beagle with it and say 'leave it' loud and firm

There's also a product called bitter apple,that can be bought at any petstore,it doesn't hurt dogs,but just makes things taste and smell bad to them-so you can spray the Dachshund with this and it will not hurt her,as it can also be used for dogs that lick sores ect so this might be the best way of fixing this annoying problem
