Re: is this licking common?

Dog hygiene is = licking and that is normal.

However … licking is many things!

Dog to dog … the licking ceremony is normal …. We shake hands to say hello, dogs sniff and lick butts !

Licking is normal and mental sound dogs communicate rang/inferiority by licking... normal too...
But any kind of exaggerated licking is a sign of some wrong… physical (e.g. a sore spot) or mental (e.g. the dog is insecure/scared/frustrarted )
