Licking People
It’s usually to say “I love you” or to get your attention when your dog licks you. You can also enjoy a pleasant taste; remember, our skin contains nutrients and minerals.
If your dog’s licking becomes excessive, you can use basic training to teach him not to do it. When your dog licks you, ignore him and reward him with a treat when he stops. Oh, and what about the myth that dog saliva is cleaner than human saliva? It’s all a myth.
When Dogs Hump
Dogs hump for a variety of reasons. And, contrary to popular belief, it is not always of a sexual nature, nor is it always a dominance issue. Humping other dogs, objects, or people is a common game for dogs.
There’s no harm in them doing this unless the other dog is bothered by the humping. Objects aren’t a problem unless they bother the owner, and if you’re humping people, you should break the habit for the sake of others.
