”I just wanted to know why does my girl constantly lick my girlfriends dogs face and her sisters dogs face. It’s weird because she really goes for it and tries to get their lips etc. She shows alot of dominant behaviour around them though e.g. Ears up, hair on end, tail dead stiff and looking from the side etc trying to get proper eye contact and showing the white of her eyes. I heard the lip licking was a submissive behaviour so i’m quite lost. It’s almost as if she’s obsessed with it and shes always trying to get in my girlfriends dog and her sisters dogs face by doing it. I’m not sure if I should stamp it out or jsut let her get on with it etc? Any ideas guys?”
”hmm its strange because my girl is really not submissive at all shes doing lots of dominant features which I said previously. So i’m a bit lost
”
”yeah i believe that she does just want to be friends with other dogs she seriously does like their company but she goes about it the wrong way..i think she wants to be around other dogs but is saying hey dont try any funny business etc….”
”Sorry back to the thread again. The licking is still going on but now they are licking/nipping each other. Not hard but it’s strange I really do want to resolve this and find out why as I don’t want to cause any long term damage.”
