How can you stop your dogs obsessive licking?

Answer 1

THE ANTI-LICK STRIP!!!

http://www.nurturedpets.com

I have an adoreable dachsund/shih tzu mix and he used to have a real problem with licking. I learned that when a dog is licking you and you want them to stop, take a step back, just out of reach of the dog, saying firmly (never meanly) a word that you will say when you want them to stop like, "That's enough", or "No more". Then step back to your dog. If the dog continues, repeat. After so long, if the dog does not stop after a good amount of repititions (it will also depend on how long you can stay patient), leave the situation. The dog will learn that when it licks you, you say a word, it needs to stop. The dog will learn you will not tolerate disobediance.

Answer 2

This is a trait in dogs and quite normal. They are simply grooming each other. Sometimes if they lick each other's mouths or even teeth they are trying to find out if one got food and the other didn't. LOL

Answer 3

What are they licking? All dogs clean themselves. Obsessive licking of paws is often allergy related -- type of grass, where they play, etc. which during the "season" is easily managed by a cortisone injection from your Vet.

Answer 4

put something that tastes really nasty on your feet

Another Answer.

You could try using a sound as a distraction, then telling them NO! Try not to tap their nose, often a dog will associate your hand reaching out to tap their nose, with that of a child reaching out to touch; This can cause a dog to snap at a child's hand.

Answer 5

Be consistent about it, even if you like the attention the dog gives you it may not be pleasant for guests. Another way is yelp or act like you are in pain, the dog might be confused at first but then he'll get that he's hurting you so he should stop, even if that's the way your dog is showing affection he doesn't want to hurt you, so he should stop. Another way which is considered mean but can work well is to apply something that your dog doesn't like; for example, lemon juice can work well. Make sure your guests or family react the same way to reinforce the lesson.

Answer 6

you say 'a' in a loud way and put a hand up if that didn't work you hit them on the nose and say no.

Answer 7
