how much licking is normal?

[imported_nea]

I can't seem to put my face anywhere near Web without him licking my whole face. It doesn't bother me (excepet in the mornings when I'm trying to sleep :-? ) because I can' always move my face if he gets annoying. But is it normal for him to lick so much? How much do your dogs lick you? :)

it means he loves you, you are getting kisses off him

Bentley is forever trying to lick my feet and toes. That I find annoying, because I'm ticklish! I think it's just showing affection. :D

Same with Felix when I first got him. I hate my feet being messed with so i taught him to "leave it" No more problems licking my feet... now if he'd just stop licking my hand when I put on/take off his leash :roll:

The more licks= the more kisses= the more he loves you, nea. :lol:

Coal always licks me too... not really obsessively which is good, cuz I don't like that :P But whenever I say "Shake a paw" now he gives me his tongue instead!!! :-? I think he's a little confused... I duno how, but somewhere down the line he thought that his tongue is his paw? :roll:

my husband hates getting licked, so i taught my dog not to do it.

the dog knows he can get away with a quick lick or two on me, but for the most part leaves my husband and other people alone and stops immediately when you tell him "no licking".

i've taught dogs i've worked with that it is okay to "give kisses" on command, but not otherwise. if you take your dog to places with a lot of people interaction (dog park, events etc.), i find dogs who lick a lot to be rather pushy and rude.
