Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Nicky is a licker dog! Drives me nut's, because I hate it when dog's lick me. What drives me even more crazy is that she's developing this disgusting habit of licking other dog's in the mouth! She does it ALL the time at home to my older Dalmatians and especially at the dog park (never to smaller dogs). She especially does it to really big dog's that have drool coming out of their mouth and she just loves it and it completely grosses me out! Not sure if it's a submission thing or what, but I try to stop her and she just keep's going back for more.
Does anyone else have a dog that does this? Know why she's doing it? and how to stop it? |

| I've heard that dogs do this as a submission as you've queried just now.
I wouldnt know how to get her out of it, but I agree licking other dogs in the mouth especially big drooly dogs is rather off putting. |

| Kelly oh yes my lab does this, and Balon and Ruby lick each others mouths all the time. PLUS Ruby the lab is a big time licker, she will literally give you a bath, it doesn't both me or my sons but my husband hates it like you. We keep telling her no, but she is just a licker.
We believe that Balon is the alpha here, Ruby is pretty submissive. BUT they both lick each others mouths so not sure why? |

| Adobo & Biko are mouth lickers to each other also. They do it most often after a good play/fight like if they were kissing and making up |

| TIka licks Ripley's ears clean. We dont know why she started but it has helped keep them clean! She really gets in there too, and Chris wonders why I hate it when she licks me and get grossed out when he lets her lick his face..... Rip doesn't lick too much, other dogs, she generally just ignores so its a non issue with her.

| This is actually a natural behavior in wolf pups. They will lick the mouths of adult wolves to stimulate the adults to regurgitate their food so that the pups can eat. Facial licking is also a sign of submission. _________________ |
