Have you tried blowing in her face? That will usually stop it. However, to work, it has to be EVERY time, and not just when it is especially annoying..
The first time or two, she may act as if she likes being blown at..(don't just do a gentle 'breeze' but as hard as you can..)
She also needs to be taught the very basics of obedience. She obviously does not respect your wishes, so is being a 'brat 'for attention.
Here is a helpful site for teaching her the 'sit', 'stay', 'Down',,etc> http://www.sniksnak.com/doghealth/traini...
Teach her to sit, and practice until she is doing it reliably.. When she does unwanted behaviors, make her 'sit'. and only praise her when she is obedient.
It is amazing that you raised her by hand from 2 days old! , and I know she is very dear to you. However, she really does need some tough love here, and to learn to respect you and other humans..
It is interesting to note that it's a natural thing for them to do for their caregiver, they also lick the face of the alpha, right through into adulthood.
However that being said, the quicker you put your foot down, the less irritated people there will be, as to us it's not always acceptable behavior.
i don't understand you really...you are not a dog person!it is a natural way of dog showing their emotions...my dog would never lick a person that she doesn't like or don't know!!!or if a person show that they don't like to be licked...she would never try to lick them again...Dogs can sense who likes them or not!give him a break!
you have had your dog for 2 DAYS!!! show it what is appropriate and what is not... praise the appropriate behavior and ignore the innapropriate behavior. SPAY/NEUTER this dog,, so the same thing does not happen
SMACKING YELLING ETC> are forms of abuse,,,, STOP IT
I think you need some obedience lessons, and the dog too. You never yell at a dog or hit them, when you are trying to teach them something.
Licking is a dogs way of showing affection. My dogs do it to each other and to us.
Saying no lick and putting your hand between the dog and yourself may help, but it will probably lick your hand instead.
Smacking her is NOT the way to do it. You will just make her vicious that way. Seeing as you dislike her licking so much I suggest you find her another home where she will be loved.
Just accept her little licks as "puppy kisses" which is what they really are if you do love her.
Congrats on pulling the puppy through without it's mother.
I have two boxers and my female does not do that she only gives kisses when asked. Yet is a spoiled and loveable dog. However my male cannot keep his tounge in his mouth! I do not think itd an effection thing I think its more excitement. I tapped his mouth help it shut and said no. Nothing works!! I'm in your boat that how I can across this looking for answers and solutions. I will try the blowing thing but some how I don;t think he is going to care.
