So my dog, Sasha, who recently turned one, won’t stop licking and biting me and my family members.
For the licking, she still has major pup energy and gets superrrrr excited when she sees people(not randoms, just people she’s familiar with). She jumps until she ends up jumping high enough to kiss everyone square on the mouth! Knowing where her mouth has been, it’s pretty nasty. She’ll also lunge at my face to try to kiss me whenever we’re cuddling and it makes me not want to lay down with her as much. If she’s not jumping on me, she’s following me around and trying to lick my legs. At first it was cute, but recently it’s started to irritate me as my skin is more on the sensitive side and she just doesn’t stop licking. I can never just chill with her without her trying to lick me.
For the biting, it’s usually playful, but recently the bites have been getting slightly more painful. She’s not an aggressive dog but she has sooo much energy all of the time even after she runs around outside for two hours. I’ve tried correcting her with yelping and blowing on her but it only seems to add fuel to the fire lol. I want to be able to bring her around my family more, but they don’t like how much she licks and jumps (she’s never bitten anyone hard that isn’t me).
She listens well and training her has been a breeze, but I just can’t seem to get her to stop licking and biting as much. All tips are helpful.
