This may sound a stupid question but does anyone know the exact meaning behind a dog's licks? I have read on other sites that when a dog is head of it's pack it cleans the other dogs. So would this mean that my dog is confused with his place in the pack? I have no other reason to think this to be true but no matter what I try it doesn't seem to help, I would like to know why my dog constantly wants to lick me to death and whether or not it is a good thing to let him do.

I would have said it was the other way round, a subservient thing. Out of interest your dog's not a Flatcoat is it?

Out of intrest talking of dogs licking can anyone tell me why both my dogs will lick the sofa to the point of leaving very wet patches I was told it was someting to do with the salt from human skin don't know if the person was winding me up lol.

Karen

Don't know the answer to that Karen but yes, human sweat does contain a large amount of salt so I suppose it could just be true. (Except J's of course and his is pure malt!)

Not me Karen, he keeps locking the damn drinks cabinet!

Love J <Hic> Sorry pardon!

My pack leader/dominant bitch doesn't lick people or other dogs only
herself. My other bitches will lick me.

My youngest bitch has a foot fetish, and will spend ages licking my feet, and nibbling any rough areas. Am I a pervert, do I need help, as I find this ENJOYABLE,LOL :0
