How can you train a dog to stop l*****g?

Question

i know a dog that licks constantly when he's around people, even if he's just l*****g the air. He doesn't have anything wrong with him, but it's so annoying! He licks everyone and even their clothes. How can he be trained to stop l*****g?

Answer 1

Try getting citrus spray (the stuff that they use in those citrus bark collars) and spray small amounts on your clothes, or alternatively spray some on his/her tongue when she/he licks. After a couple of days the dog should begin to dislike the idea of l*****g. ;)

Answer 2

LOL!! That's just the dog's way of being affectionate.  People should just accept the love.  Either that, or amputate her tongue (just kidding).

Answer 3

woah. i want my dog to do that =.=. she nibbles and licks which is I WOULD LOVE l*****g i hate her niblling, sometimes it gets abit hard and hurts, so LOVE YOUR DOG l*****g YOU, if not your dog would be biting.

if not, wen she is l*****g say NO NO l*****g.

Answer 4

This is just an OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. When he licks you he is probably isnt showing affection. Maybe sometimes. But he just cannot stop. He will grow out of it! No worries.

Answer 5

The l*****g is helping him get the smells of the new people.  It's natural and the only way to make him stop is to send him to the rug to lay down.

Answer 6

it is natural and cannot be changed. Dear you are trying to change the way a dog shows its love n it is not possible

Answer 7

Well, first of all dogs are dogs. Unlike us, dogs are really loyal but somehow their loyalty gets out of hand...I know this 'because I'm a 13 year old dog/cat owner.Now, to train your dog, you need to do this:

1. Whenever he tries to l**k at someone or l**k at an unpleasant time, try to scold him like saying, "doggy! stop it". (keep doing it until he finally gets it...)

2. If you have some other question about dogs, try reading the book "Dogs for dummies"
