Sandra777 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yes you can. Mine don't lick - I absolutely hate it. They're not allowed to lick from the time they're small puppies, treated the same as if they'd bitten/nipped. For the serial adult licker I have been known to be a bit more harsh, but mostly with pups if you correct them when they lick and don't allow them to ever do it without being corrected (just a gentle grr works fine) they usually quickly stop it. It makes me want to seeing dogs licking people's mouths, inside their mouths and all ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolz Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 my big boy has this thing with licking my feet.. i cant stand it.. but im not a big fan of dogs licking faces either (i did get licks on the chin from the puppies the other day but it did kinda make me go eww) its just gross. so a simple grr would work you reckon whenever they do it?? or a grr and walk away??

Start with the simple method - remove anything from close to her mouth if she goes to lick it.. hands, feet etc. They can't lick what they can't reach.

I have Cav girl that licks a lot, I use this method but it is a bit hard when you are trying to put a collar and lead on to dodge the licks. It must look hilarious to observers! But as soon as I move my hand away she starts licking her lips - it is just something she does when excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
