Licking is a sigh of trust and affection. This is what my 60 years of personal experience tells me.
AGREED! I've had multiple dogs at a time, though not every dog I have had were kissers, the overwhelming majority were. The ones that didn't, also showed affection in a different way.
Well you are still wrong.
@@judsonkr In reality, no one knows for sure exactly what is going on in a dog’s mind. So, saying someone is wrong, is just your opinion. But, like many here, I choose to believe my pups love me when they lick or give me kisses. I have had two GSD’s that also lean into you. They like to be touching you when you’re sitting down or sleeping. ❣️🐺
Anyone with real dog experience knows this - yet the naysayers may crap up the thread with BS.
Dogs go crazy when they haven't seen you in a while, and they lick your face off. Explain that.
What dogs like best:
1) BEING WITH YOU!
2) Going somewhere, car, park, beach...
3) Cookies
4) Tummy rubs
5) Physical contact, snuggling, cuddling, petting.
Same thing with your little kids, big kids will deny it, but they like the attention, too!
@@annarodriguez9868I agree.
My dog is a Kielbasas steeling ahole.
@@237g😂😂😂😂
My dog did not go crazy over food or treats. He did not like the dog park that much. All he ever wanted was to be with me.
I've had many dogs through the years, and in my 60 yrs on this planet, I have come to the realization that my dogs licked my face, hands, head, neck, etc., for a multitude of reasons, including, but not limited to: showing affection, welcoming you home after work or being away, to get whatever sweat or salty residue might be on my skin, trying to get my attention (probably to be let outside), waking me up if something is happening in or outside our home. There's nothing "NOT cute" about it. I loved all my dogs, and I know they loved me, 'cause they would get up from where they were and move closer to me no matter what room I'm in. Begs the question if it is not affection, have you ever seen a dog lick the face or hands of somebody that they dog didn't like? Of course not.
Do the dogs lick their private parts or eat poop before licking your face? Seems pretty common in the dogs that I see at the park
@@WandersonRC3 From my own experience with 7 dogs over several decades, I have not had that happen to me, to the best of my recollection. Of course, my dogs all had large yards to run around in, so we seldom went to a park; we just played in the yard. Further, I would discourage mine from eating poop for obvious reasons and they were well fed with food, treats and, gasp, table scraps.
Totally agree
@@WandersonRC3. Like eating at MUCKDONALDS. Or getting Oral sex.
Preach !
I love it when people say why animals do what they do. It is hilarious to me.
When I talk to my dog, he tells me humans are full of shit.
😂😂😂
Lol😂
You have a smart dog. Smarter than a lot of humans.
🤣
That we may be but in the end who gets to pick dog poop off the yard everyday !!! They may not think were dumb but they do have us at an advantage plus they eat for free as well as get treats & all the Vet visits they need. I don't think were full of shit but they seem smarter than us anyway LOL !!!
I don't agree with the licking part. My dog does lick me when I put lotion on or I'm eating, but she also licks me when she's being affectionate. When I tell my dog I love her and say kiss kiss, she acts all goofy and gives me a kiss. I don't care what you say, it's a kiss from my dog. LOL
I agree entirely. The so called experts out there and here always try and debunk licking.
I agree with you
💯
You're absolutely right, and this person has no idea what they're talking about. Beta wolves will do that to the alpha as a sign of submission. And there is no way that a beta wolf would ever dare to attempt stealing food from the alphas mouth.
Only the dog knows for sure
Yeah, everyone is an expert, my dog licks me when I'm not sweaty or eating, we kiss each other because we are exchanging positive vibes of love. ❤
Dog not allowed ect
They have different sensory perceptions from which human beings are exempted. Do not underestimate but accept dogs on their own terms, not yours.
🤢
Bro you dont know what means to love ur pet@@FraterPerpetuusCoegi
Yea, and sometimes, like when you aren't eating and sweating, a dog lacks to show affection. Have these 'experts' ever been near dogs? Seriously, most of these 'experts' are dim.
licks not lacks you mean?
My stupid phone sometimes "autocorrects" when I hit the "send". I double check every post, and sometimes it changes words. S23 phone. It also freaks out and the top half of the screen is no longer sensitive. But yes, LICK
This is the voice of AI and reveals no information on psychological doggy expertise.
I remember watching an expert telling viewers, that dogs don't dream or snore. While the whole time my dog lay next to me, snoring and twitching the whole time. So no, these experts have never owned or even seen a dog.
Yup, teens and AI run thus shit. We fucked.
So when I told my dog "Dog Park" this morning and she ran up and licked my face she wanted to taste my sweat. Got it.
Dog not allowed ect
@@LisaJones-xk6xzwhat?
Your a salt stick !
I'm guessing it was also a cold winter day with 30 degree temps, snowing and no sweat to be seen in sight, right? This video is full of B.S. of course dogs lick their person's face out of love. Duh.
@@egrogan6482totally agree - what a crock. Also I’ve noticed that my dog will attempt to eat grass when it has an upset tummy. The grass eating sometimes results in his then spitting up a green grassy liquid so that may be his intention although I tend not to let him eat a lot of grass in these situations anyway because I’m not sure it is advisable.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE with the licking statement. I have 6 Labrador Retrievers and they are all very affectionate. They lick when they are playful or excited that you are with them and when they are cuddling up on the couch with you !
What if you don't want to be licked😢 by your dog.
@@RuthEsther-nn6qe -
That is a personal choice or decision. Not of the dog. I feel that denial of your pet’s affection is very sad and damaging to their relationship with you.
@armyvet92 hi army. I would treat my dog great. I just don't want to be picked especially in the face. Germs. My lady German shepherd never picked me but she loved me a lot. She passed in 1990. I miss her. Thanks for your military service to our country and be blessed.
@@RuthEsther-nn6qe
- Hello and let me say that I am sorry 😢 that your lady passed on. I also want to thank you for the nice words and support of my military service. !!!
I have 2 Labradors. I love them so much.
My dog does not lick me when I have food. In fact, he's not big on licking. Usually he does it when he comes to see if I am awake in the morning. As far as sharing food, he has just recently started bringing me his bones, putting them on my lap or burying them under the covers next to me... that is sharing from a dog who had food aggression issues at the pound, but is now showing he is comfortable sharing.
You must be doing something right to have him share with you. Kudos to you!
Canines in the wild will often try licking the facial area of the pack leader. It's an expression of submission or acknowledgement of the leader. So your dog is accepting you as the packer leader, which is an expression of affection.
Also of loyalty - something dogs are VERY good at.
Eww... Submission.. Human males and animals in captivity (that means jail) are the only ones who practice sub-dom bullshit. Leave the poor wild animals out of your bullshit reasoning.
Puppies do this as well to their mother perhaps for a similar reason.
More plausible than the nonsense spouted on the video.
Dogs also lick family members who are hurt or crying, as most dog lovers know. It seems whoever wrote this video has never lived with dogs much less know what they’re thinking.
This video feels like some truth peppered with misinformation.
Clearly, a cat with access to a computer made this video. Explains the AI voice.
They haven’t got a clue.
@@whiskii😂👍🏻
My husband is a biologist with over 50 yrs research. He absolutely LOVES dogs and has read/studied/researched every aspect of dogs and anything to do with dogs. He also has many doggie behaviors I asked him why do dogs like our face? He said many reasons but he thinks the main one is they are showing love. When I look my dog in the face an talk to him in a loving voice and pet him, he ALWAYS responds by licking my face and only my face, for a long time and wags his tail and seems very happy. Yes there could be other reasons but IMO that's the main one. I've never seen a dog lick anyone's face who they didn't like/love.
There might be different reason for dog licking you, but one of them is to let you know they love you. We have been kissing dogs for thousands of years and they have learnt how to return that affection with a lick, usually a big slobbery lick.
BS , my dog licks me because she loves me
👍👍👍👍👍
Either way, got to wonder where that dog's tongue has been beforehand. Not for me.
pass
hugs > licks
Absolutely
@@ozrob8726you can say the Exact Same Thing about humans.
I think my cousins Rottweiler is just seeing what people taste like before he makes his mind up 😆
😂❤
WRONG! Then why does my dog wake me up with kisses to my face when I have absolutely no food in my mouth?
You smell good!
licking you BAD breath!!!
Yea, my Cockapoo wakes me up with kisses.
@@Phyllida-r7n But you taste even better. LOL
EXACTLY RIGHT!
It is the sign of excitement and showing their love that is all
When you google "how do dogs show affection" the first thing that comes up is "licking, tail wagging..." I think after 30K yrs, we humans know affection when we see it.
We been around since 190,000 bc. Wolves been our allies for quite some time. Even when they became dogs. Difference between wolf and god is wolf is an ally while a dog is a best friend.
I literally tell my Corgi, “Wheres mom? Go upstairs and give momma a kiss” and he immediately gets happy, runs up the stairs, and gives his momma a kiss.
2:48 Duhhhhhh. . . But this video about licking not being a sign of affection is one that I would looooooooove to see their Sources on. . . An aggressive dog don’t give kisses, a loving dog does. . .
If someone tells you they know what a dog is thinking, dont walk away, run, they are full of crap.
Agreed. This video is pretty much click bait.
Don't die as a disbeliever
@@marcberrenson570 dog not allowed ect
@@LisaJones-xk6xz Dude, don't you have anything constructive to say? What are you a bot, or a five year old?
Yes sometimes you know what a dog is thinking. Just by their actions looks…
Like when it needs to go out, needs fed, watered.
Kiss from your dog is an act of love and affection. Nothing else
Dogs may be absorbing your scent and taste, but they know damn well YOU see it as affection and do so accordingly.
I do believe dogs do this for affection on their end as well, but I like the way you put this 😊
What did you do? Ask them? I get so tired of these so called "experts" telling us why pets do certain things!
Absolutely. People should understand their own perceptions and not expect a dog to understand them too!
"Experts" are a dime a dozen. 🙄
There are times when it’s pure affection, nothing more. Most of us know when it’s that.
I always trust UA-cam videos with AI scripts and robot voices. That's how you know it's valuable information.
My dog is on a home cooked diet. After he finishes a meal, he wants to come jump on my lap - where he then gives me a quick lick and then buries his face in my neck. I take it as a thank you for the nice meal.
Yeah, the licking is a dog kiss, call it what you want but it’s a sign of affection clearly!
I know, right? To me, it's very clear that it's an expression of love. A dog wags his tail usually, too, when he licks your face and tail wagging is a sign of happiness. My dog does it especially when I tell him "I love you."
@@egrogan6482exactly. Especially when they lick your face and eye lids as you close your eyes. If they wanted to, they could fk you up and blind you. But they love you.
Lorne Greene told us that a dog that was 15 years old was like 105 for you and me! And I believe him, because he was Ben Cartwright!
Zero facts in this video. Maybe you should go pet your cat.
Garbage
What, the comment or tge video?
Good one 😂
It’s always the same. A catchy headline (“What it really means, when…”) is followed up by an “explanation” that inevitably contains the “M” word:
“… might….”
licking is because they want food or salt? Name the times you see your dog lick you; is it obvious hunger or affections? These "authorities" on dogs need to do more research. Seems like they just made good click bait instead of facts.
It's true that there are many reasons dogs might lick their owners, and it's not always easy to pinpoint just one. Dogs can lick for affection, to show submission, to get attention, or even because they like the taste of our skin. It might also be a way for them to communicate their needs, like hunger.
Paying attention to the context when your dog licks you can give you more clues. Is it close to their mealtime, or are they trying to get your attention for a cuddle? Each dog is unique, and their behavior can vary. You're right that more research can help us understand our furry friends better, but sometimes, it's also about knowing your own dog's personality and habits.
In any case, it's important to look at the whole picture and understand the context rather than relying on one explanation. Your insights are valuable and remind us to always question and learn more about our beloved pets. 🐾😊
My dogs ALWAYS kiss me and love when I kiss them, and when these things happen, there is never sweat, food, etc involved.
They definitely kiss each other too, on the mouth but just briefly. They do that in the morning when they see each other, and also after too much roughhousing.
It is a sign of affection, none the less.
Its not cute what i do to my wife either, but it implies affection.
First about 'eating grass' moment. When predator catches a pray,which is fed by eating grass, he eats stomach first. Their stomachs are able to transform food ( grass and greenery) into very rare vitamins,which all animals needed. When meat - eater as a dog, has no possibility to catch a pray and get these vitamins, they eating grass themselves instead. As far as I now some cancer treatment methods in Mexican clinics are based on this finding.So,it is nothing to do with anxiety.
Our dogs licking us when they are feeling grateful ( after getting food or drink) or wants some cuddles, expressing some feelings to us,etc.. They're not looking for a food from anyones mouths ( other way around ,bringing to us something very dear to them,special toy or tasty food). Also I can feel their very special feelings to us sometimes. I would call it love. You can call whatever you want.
Today is 3 years as my late springador Trixie passed away. She was battling cancer and moment she died I felt how something breaks apart from my soul ( or essence, whatever you call it ). It was physical feeling and I knew that moment she's gone. We had very strong bond in between us, she was my velcro dog,my companion. So,to believe in such things as food from mouth or grass for anxiety, you need to understand nothing about this beautiful gift from God.
Then why does my dog lick my face like crazy when he hasn't seen me all day! Regardless of what's on my face
If you want me to believe that my dog licks me because of anything but affection and trust...you probably want me to believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and Bigfoot as well.
how do you know. did you ask the dog.
I believe food or salt is factor's, but also as a sign of affection, trust & love! 💕
And how do you know do you have a dog brain and can you read their minds?
I'm quite sure the licking is a message of "I'm no threat to you, please don't hurt me, I don't want any trouble right now." but its easy for humans to put it in their own terms and just say its kisses or affection which is fine too, and natural. But at it's core it's like how a horse foal will gape it's mouth at another adult "please don't hurt me, I'm just a baby."
my dog kisses me after i feed him because he grateful
Whatever.
Yea my dog does that too, he says thank you.
My dog leaves a tip. 20% if he feels the service was very good.
Actually my wolf/malamute lived 17 years and stayed healthy all the way.
My dog licks me right after he licks his Arse , he’s just trying to get the taste off of his tongue
😂
I always told my kids that when a dog licks you they are seeing if you taste good just in case they want to eat you later if you don't feed them.
My dogs go nuts when I get home .....and then HAVE to mug me with hugs, licks and furiously wagging tails.....almost like I had been away for years on an Odyssey like Homer (which is most often just a small 1hr trip to deliver a job to a client).
Mine gives me a smooch every night because my husband does. He started this as a puppy watching us. Also nobody is allowed to hug me. He runs up and thinks he's the only one that can hug me jumps up wraps his front legs around me and snuggles his wet nose on me. I say okay I love you too Joe, then he gets down all happy. He's an amazing dog.
Licking can be a form of contact for a dog or cat like someone touching you. When I scratch my dog on his chest, he gets this content, relaxed look and starts licking my hand. It's like he is petting me back.
That's a beautiful way to look at it! Licking can indeed be a form of affectionate contact, similar to how we touch or pet our pets. Your dog’s response to your affection shows the special bond you share. It's heartwarming to see how our furry friends express their love in their unique ways.
Thanks for sharing this lovely perspective!
Studies have shown that licking releases endorphins in animals’ brains that make them feel calmer and more relaxed.
I had six dogs in my life and have now dog number seven and everytime i talk sweet talks to her she liks my face and so did the others .I think is a sign of love from them to you.
The lickings part isn't true because some dogs do lick, cuddle, or rub to show affection. When my dog wants me to pet him he will look at me and cry, and start petting me. If I stop, he pets me again to get my attention. And when I'm petting him, he licks my hand. Maybe he's grooming me? Maybe I taste good? But either way it's not just because he wants food or likes my taste.
Licking is a sign of love. My dogs often lick me if I give them treat or rub their belly.
I won’t let my boy kiss me on the face. He’s caught and eaten three gophers in the past month! HE gets lots of hugs, though!
My boxer eats catshit. Sumbich tries to lick me and he's sleeping on the porch tonite.
I had a dog that would not kiss anyone except me and she love me to the last moment of her life.
We have a Japanese Akita family member. Whenever we tell him;” I love you handsome boy…. He runs over wraps his arms around the neck and licks our faces. Always been that way
I heard that a dog licks you because it's the canine equivalent of petting you. Since it can't pet you, licking is the the closest it can get
Some dogs can smell cancer. There was a case of a white woman in New Zealand whose dog kept licking her ankle, particularly on and around a small mole there. She became really annoyed by his behaviour and brought him over to veterinarian for a neurological examination. The vet assured her that HE was fine, but told HER to see a dermatologist to have her ankle skin checked straight away. Turns out she was in the early stages of malignant melanoma, they nipped it in the bud, and her dog (and that vet) saved her life!
My dog does lick my legs when I come back from a workout and I have been sweating, but she also licks me when I'm not sweating or eating anything. If I get right in her face she is going to lick me regardless.
Licking is a sign of affection between dogs and humans. My dog would lick my face before sleep. Lick me 10 times then walk away and plop on the bed to sleep. One dog went to my other dog with ear and other dog would lick it inside and out. Thats love right there. Not wanting to share food or lick sweat. But im sure that is a bonus.
When I tell my dog kiss, he doesn’t lick me. He presses his lips up against my cheek,mimicking me, in the same spot that I give him kisses on his face.
I watched this with my canine friend Luella. She says when she licks me, it's because she likes me.
And she went on to say she eats a little grass now and then, because she likes it.
Birthdays are based on annual cycles, not developmental checkpoints. So a birthday wouldn't change based on a creatures development.
Dogs lick for multiple reasons. They may smell something that interests them on your body like food on your mouth, lotion, or another animals scent that you just rubbed. But dogs also show affection and expressions through their mouths. For instance if they’re hot they’ll pant because that’s how they cool down, or if they want your attention they’ll grab your hand with their mouth or play bite to tell you they want to play. Dogs use their mouths for many purposes, including licking because their tastebuds are super enhanced and they taste 10 times greater than humans, plus your scent and taste is a way to them remembering you.
They’re actually trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to your bones!
Dumb, I call bs because when my dog gives me kisses she doesn't lick me at all. She just touches her nose to my nose and that's her version of a kiss. It's the cutest thing ever and I didn't teach it to her, she taught it to me.
When my dog keeps licking me then they are showing love to me. Enough said
Absolutely! Dogs often show their love and affection through licking. It's one of their many ways of expressing their bond with us. Your dog's licks are a sweet reminder of the special connection you share. Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the most meaningful-it's all about love. 🐾❤️
Don't know about the rest of it. But when I ask my Lexie for kisses, she jumps up and gives me kisses. Got nothing to do with food, just affection.
The only time my dogs licks me is when I station him to sit with his paws on my lap and ask him if he’s a good boy and he gives me one touch to my nose. It’s just a trained behavior to affirm our bond.
Yes, they can do that. One little nose tap is gratifying to bite.
He is correct when he says that a dog licking your mouth is because it wants food. It's a holdover from being a puppy, but it's not the only reason they lick your face. Dogs are essentially wolves stuck in puppy phase.
Dog licking is still cute.
I've almost always had a dog at home growing up and she didn't only lick me when I had recently eaten or was sweaty.
Dogs learn a lot from human and if you respond to licks positively, they will understand that you like it and will adjust their behavior.
I grew up with dogs in our houses. And now I got 5 in mine. Whenever I kiss them on their heads, immediate reaction is to lick my face. That's not for salt.
I always kiss my dog on the nose. When I have eaten something he tries to lick my lips to get a taste. When he shows me affection he licks my nose. I think it’s a learned behavior they use to try to communicate with us.
Another expert video. There might be different types of licks. But they definitely shoving trust and love and happiness most of the time.
These so called “experts” don’t know crap, my newest rescue, a mini pin, jumps on my leg as soon as I walk in the door, she wants me to hold her as she licks my cheek. My pit is just full of licker, as I call it, because all he wants to do is lean on me, a dogs hug, and lick my hand as long as I will let him, I my opinion they are not only showing love but thanks for giving me a loving home. Animals are smarter than these know it all experts give them credit. Instead of trying to use animal psychology to explain their actions why not just understand that although they don’t think like us animals do show love and compassion.
I've never understood why people let dogs lick their face's . That same tongue also frequently licks their own backsides. Yes, I have had many dogs in my life, and no, I don't let them lick me.
I really don't understand why people let dogs lick their faces. Yak! That's really disgusting. Just been licking their behinds...
I understand where you're coming from! Not everyone is comfortable with dogs licking their faces, especially considering where their tongues might have been. It's important to set boundaries with our pets to maintain both hygiene and personal comfort. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
My dogs licks are equivalent to kisses, but more for some of them than for others.
When a dog licks you, it is providing you with a rich selection of bacteria and other microorganisms from all over its body and that of other dogs it has sniffed.
When your mom went down on me, she gave me all sorts of es tee dees
Pretty sure that dogs lick each other's faces as a sign of submission and affection. Probably mostly they intend that when they do it to us too. I know that my half-husky does it to me when we get into my pickup to go to the trail to get a walk. He loves it and wants to show his appreciation, so he licks me once (never more) usually on the cheek. Pretty sure it means he's happy I'm his leader.
The first thing a dog to experience is it's mother licking it at birth to clean and bond with it's mother you become it's pack leader dogs are smarter than humans
What a great comment! You're right, the bond created between a puppy and its mother through licking is fundamental and very tender. Dogs have a unique way of communicating and licking is one of their forms of affectionate expression. Being the pack leader for your dog creates a relationship of trust and unconditional love. And yes, dogs have a wisdom and intelligence that we humans can often only admire. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🐶❤️
I think dogs lick because of affection. Watch the dog when you come home after a separation and he is excited to see you. First thing it does is jump on you and cover your face with licks.
People who arent even dog people always trying to tell us they know more about dogs than we do,"us dog people that have had dogs our entire lives"! Not only do they show they love you by licking but if you are injured, somehow they know it and will lick it also! I hurt my elbow for example, couldnt tell but looking just strained it, didn't have any marks no indication it was injured i didnt even rub it or anything but i noticed my dog licking right where the pain seemed to emanate from, i had taken some antibiotics and one of the sudeeffects was ligament damage. So it didnt stop the pain but it did feel good while it was being licked lol!🤠👍
True about the licking fixation that dogs have.
We just got a new puppy and she licks everyone at every chance she gets. She's doing it to show affection, not because she's hoping we'll feed her or are sweaty lol.
What you said about dog licking may be true in part, but if you lavish your beloved dog with kisses they almost always respond with a quick loving lick. Now prolonged licking when your hot and sweaty may be what you were referring to.
I question the sanity of anyone who allows a dog to lick their face. That is outright DISGUSTING. There is no way to sugarcoat it.
Funniest thing I saw with the licking. Stayed over at a friends place after a party, our daughter was dating their son. Awoke and went to toilet. Their little terrier was sitting on boys bed licking his junk. When I came back, was licking the young man’s face. 😂
Then why does a dog lick themselves, because they can.
Anthropomorphizing an dog is absolutely a logical fallacy. But assuming that dogs think nothing like humans is also fallacious.
Dogs lick us because they know we have bones inside.
And they want them.
They know they got bones too. Duh.😂
When I pet my dog, she licks the inside of my elbow - that means thank you.
When your dog eats grass,he may be a cow in his previous life,taking him for a past life regression may help.
Lovecraft would love this idea. "Your dog doesn't love you. He really just wants to eat your stuff, and then you."
I always hate the pollen season… my dog wants to lick and chew on the grass while I’m trying to get her to do her business. “I gotta get to work,… c’mon already!!!”
Interesting I know they’re a lot of myths. Their videos of a fish on the dock and the dog is using it snows to flip water on it and everybody’s like oh look the dogs trying to save the poor little fishy because he loves him. This is a dogs, natural instinct to bury food that it wants to eat later. That dog is literally thinking about eating that fish and trying to bury it. He’s not trying to save it, but it makes a cute video and people just believe whatever they’re told. There’s another video that’s famous where Bears pulling a crow out of his water feature at the zoo and he’s like he’s saving the crow. No he’s not. He’s pulling it out to see if he wants to eat it and then he just drops it cause he doesn’t feel like eating it. He wasn’t trying to save it, and if he’s hungry and doesn’t have a better food option, he will gladly eat that crow. . I didn’t know about the licking. I didn’t know about the salt part of it, but I assumed it was some sort of an affectionate thing like a kiss, but I guess they were just sizing us up to see if we were worth eating or maybe I thought we needed some grooming😂😂
I respectfully disagree with the licking part. True, dogs may lick if you have excessive salt - sweat.
I’ve had dogs my entire life. my male Chihuahua affectionately licks my husband when he scratches his ears and gives him a rub down. My female Chihuahua always walks by me at least 2x a day & gives me a lick on my ankle & walks away. dogs know when they are loved & they show it in their own way too ❤🐾
Huh? Share what food? My dog never licks me when I have any food around. I’ll get up and sit at my desk where he’ll come over, cuddle me, then lick me on the nose. I’ll leave food sitting around all the time and he won’t eat it. I’ll give him his food I prepare for him and leave it in his crate. He will eat it when he’s hungry and often leave it for hours at a time. Why do people assume dogs obsess over food? And moreover, why do people train their dogs around that assumption?
In the spring, my dog Roxie goes crazy for the wild grass behind our house. I talked to her vet, and the vet said sometimes grass just tastes good. Roxie is 11 and still does it
This is a very shallow video. Eating grass is likely improving gut health. It is much more likely that dogs have interest in grass (natural fiber) since it supports thier microbiome and gut health, as it does with many other species, including humans.
