Why do dogs lick the couch?

Answer 1

This could be one of two things either a they are sharpening their claws or b they smelll something and are trying to dig it up!!!

maybe that's there way of getting turned on go ask them dam

Answer 2

Leather sofas and furniture is animal hide, like a rawhide bone. They are attracted to the smell. And in its own way, it is soothing to them. Like getting a treat from you. Licking your leather sofa will actually dry out the leather, but this is a catch 22, you clean it and condition it, and the smell is stronger, they continue to lick. You can train your dog to stop licking the sofa, but you must be consistant and kind. If you leave the dog alone during the day where he can sleep on it or lick it, you will undo any of the work you have put into stopping it. I just let it happen, there is no serious damage, and it doesn't happen to the fabric furniture. LOL!

Answer 3

Something must smell good there or taste good there. Make sure he has enough food and water. As long as he does, don't worry about him licking the floor. He's cleaning up something that spilled there maybe.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Because it tastes something on it, such as something that was once spilled, etc.
