[nagdu] Lickers

[Shannon Dyer]

I would think you could treat it like any other undesirable behavior. Redirect the dog when she’s licking. Maybe give her a bone or some other toy and praise her for playing with it. Remind her to leave it when you notice her starting to lick something, and praise her when she does it.

My partner’s dog licks a lot, but he seems to only lick her, which she doesn’t mind. I got him to stop licking me by tapping his nose and saying “Yuck”. He hardly does it now.

Hope some of this helps.

My retired guide, Pascal would lick his paws, the cat, the air, and even other dog's ears. Yes, he has an ear fetish now! He also liked to lick his bedding and occasionally would chew a hole in something that he was licking. He pretty much outgrew the chewing phase, but still likes to lick at times.
