Pets Keepers Guide Forums

Hi everyone, I have not been here in a while. I hope everyone and their pets are doing great! Our Boston Terrier, Brogan is soon to be a year old. His birthday is November 28th. Where has the time gone?!

Anyway, the past couple of months he has started licking me and my husbands arms, feet, legs, face, whatever he can get to, excessively. I firmly tell him no but he continues to try to do so. I just have to move him and continuously tell him no.

He also licks the furniture over and over and over again and I tell him no but it doesn't work. I don't know what to do and I do not know why he is doing this. Any ideas?

Maybe he is just a very affectionate dog and that is how he shows his love but I can get the annoying part of the ordeal. I have a 8 month year old Shitzu and she is very licky, she likes to lick everyone as soon as they are done taking a shower, and she loves to wake us up with her licking. We are trying to be firm with her on the licking part because it does get excessive and maybe she just does it because she young.

Hi there. It certainly can be annoying lol. I just don't understand it. When we take him for his check up I am going to ask the vet what she thinks. He also likes to lick my legs after I get out of the shower. Silly little boy I tell ya. It could just be something he and your Shih Tzu will have to grow out of.
