My dog licks excessively too. She was abandoned and left in an empty house. The vet says that it is an anxiety disorder or a calming method. She licks everything and anything in sight when she is trying to lay down. If any skin is within her reach she licks it. It's a slow lick, almost like she is bathing you except she licks the couch, blanket, toys, shoes, anything like she licks skin. She's actually sitting next to me now licking my leather couch.
