Is your Dood a "licker"?

[Carol and Banjo]

I've looked for this topic and haven't found any reference to it so please excuse me if this is a "repeat".  Banjo  drives me batty with his licking.  ME.    Or more precisely the body lotion on me.   It makes me crazy!   I no sooner walk out the bathroom door....(I swear he's sitting outside the door waiting for his next fix)...and there he is!  Licking my feet, legs whatever he can get.  "No...No...No...Banjo NO!!!"
I make him sit so that I can get by him to the stairs....and he's right on my heels...licking my shins all the  way down the stairs!   Seriously, I worry that whatever chemicals are in  the lotions I use must not be good for any dog.   Does your dog do this???   Any good ideas on how to discourage this...aside from topping off the lotion with Bitter Apple?

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Yes, Murphy is obsessed with Body Lotion. I had to give up using it for the Summer....you guessed it "alligator skin". In the Winter it's fine, because I have long pants on, but in the Summer with shorts it just isn't worth the grief.

[Carol and Banjo]

Oh yes Jane.....I know the "alligator" very well! ; -)

[Jeannine Smith]

I would love to hear suggestions too, although it's not my doodles that are the lickers! It's my corgi..I have tried for years to get him to stop...and yes it totally makes me crazy!!!

[Frannie & Callie]

I also skip lotion in the summer - Callie goes crazy over it. She's a generous kiss-giver on any given day, but the lotion inspires her to just sit and lick one spot on my leg and I don't like that. The only thing she likes more is sweat.

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

Harlow is a notorious lotion licker. She especially like the Gardenia one that DD uses and it drive DD batty too. In the summer time I only put lotion on my legs at bedtime.

[Robyn, Greg and Snickers]

Lotion, body wash doesn't matter Snickers loves to 

[Robyn, Greg and Snickers]

Sorry meant to say loves loves to lick my arms and legs. 

[Ginny Nightingale]

So, this seems to be a real problem! But no one has a solution, eh? I guess you will all have to live with it! Good luck, ladies!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Luca is my usual licker and he doesn't even need lotion. Luckily for the most part I like it. And he most often goes for leg, rarely my face. Calla doesn't lick often but ten , when she does she's more of a face licker. I try to convince myself it confers immunity to goodness knows what.

[Camilla and Darwin]

No, not usually. The occasional lick on the toes will happen, but he doesn't lick hands or faces, basically ever. He does have some interest in licking shampoo off himself while he's being bathed, but a stern "no" usually stops that...

You could wear a full length bath robe or pants? :-) I wish I had better suggestions.

[Holly Doodle]

Holly LOVES body lotion! I call it her frosting. She'll lick any bare skin regardless though, body lotion or not. My DH has taught her to stop licking on command which has been wonderful, but she doesn't always listen to me as well as she does him. Be consistent and let them know it's not ok and they'll get it :). We usually just say "heeeey" in a low deep voice and she stops. I really don't mind it that much but our guests this summer weren't too thrilled about getting their toes licked!

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

good to hear its not just Cooper with this obsession! Im not sure how to stop it either.

I use all natural products though, - if your concerned the chemicals are bad for your dog (which they are) they are bad for you too!
