Why Does My Dog Keep Licking My New Puppy?

When you bring home your first puppy, it’s natural for you and your family to bond with him right away.

He’ll be excited at first, but as he gets older, he will begin to explore his surroundings.

One of the things he’ll do is start exploring other dogs.

Puppies are curious by nature, so when he sees another dog, he’ll probably want to sniff it, play with it, and maybe even lick it!

Dogs are social animals that need companionship

If your pup starts licking another dog, it could mean several different things.

Maybe he just wants to smell it because he finds it interesting.

Or maybe he has an itch on his body that he needs to scratch, and this dog happens to be nearby.

It can also indicate that he may have separation anxiety if you’ve recently moved.

If your dog licks another dog excessively, or if you notice any other behavior changes in your pup such as aggression towards other animals, you should call your veterinarian immediately.

They can help determine whether there’s an underlying medical issue that requires treatment.

A dog may lick another dog to show submission

If you have two dogs in the house, one of them might start playing with the other dog, and then start licking that dog.

This could be because the other dog didn’t come when called, or it could be because he wants to assert dominance over the other dog.

Sometimes owners think their dogs are just being playful.

But if the licking is excessive, it may be a sign that your dog isn’t happy about something.

For example, if he licks the other dog while he’s sleeping, it could mean he doesn’t like sharing his bed with the other dog.

It could also mean he has an aggressive streak and is showing aggression towards the other dog.

Owners should never punish their dogs for licking another dog.

A dog who shows aggression towards other dogs will continue to act aggressively towards other dogs.

So instead of punishing your dog, try training him to stop making unwanted advances toward the other dog.

You can teach him to ignore the other dog until it stops provoking him.

A dog may lick another dog to show affection

If the puppy is new to the area, he may just be exploring the neighborhood.

He may also have been abandoned by its previous owners when he was a puppy, which makes it more likely that he’ll try to establish a relationship with any other dogs in the area.

The first thing most puppies do after meeting another dog is sniff each other.

They’ll both try to smell each other’s breath, and if they find something unusual on either one of their faces, they may nudge each other with their noses to see what it is.

This could lead to some playful wrestling between the two dogs, but it can also lead to some serious aggression if they decide to fight.

However, sometimes the puppy may not know how to react to another dog.

It may seem like he wants to get friendly with the other dog, but instead of letting him approach, he might start to growl at him.

In this case, the best way to handle the situation is to stay calm and let the pup work out the problem himself.

It’s important to remember that all dogs are different, and every pup has different behaviors.

Some pups will chase other dogs around, while others will keep an eye on them from a distance.

A lot of times, the behavior of the pup will depend on how much time he spends with this particular dog before he got separated from his owners.

If the pup hasn’t spent enough time with the other dog, he may feel nervous about getting too close.

He may start to bark at the other dog to warn him off.

Sometimes, he may even bite the dog, though it’s rare for a puppy to actually hurt another dog.

The best thing to do in this situation is to back up slowly and give the other dog space, then wait until the pup starts to calm down.

As long as the pup isn’t aggressive towards the other dog, it’s perfectly normal for him to show signs of affection towards it.

However, if he does become aggressive, you should take him to the veterinary clinic immediately.

You never want to leave your dog alone with another animal because you don’t know what kind of reaction it’s going to have.

A dog may lick another dog to show excitement

If your dog starts licking another dog, it can mean several things.

First of all, it could just be that your dog is curious about what the other dog smells like.

It could also mean that the other dog has something in its mouth that your dog wants.

It could be food, a bone, or even an object that belongs to the other dog.

In some cases, your dog might have picked up on a scent from the other dog and then been drawn to investigate further.

This is especially true if the other dog is being aggressive toward your dog.

Another thing to consider is that your dog may be showing affection to the other dog.

If your dog is licks another dog, it could be out of pure happiness or because the other dog is making him happy.

Sometimes, a dog may even try to lick another dog as a form of play.

If the other dog seems to be enjoying the attention, your dog may continue to lick it to keep it happy.

However, if the other dog doesn’t seem to enjoy the attention, your dog may stop.

You should also watch how often this behavior happens and whether it occurs more frequently around certain times of day.

For example, if your dog usually licks another dog during the night, it may be a sign that the two dogs aren’t getting along.

Dogs also lick people when they’re happy, so if your dog is consistently licking you, it may also be a sign that they’re happy to see you.

A dog may lick another dog to show curiosity

This behavior can be very normal if your pup is just beginning to learn about other dogs.

It’s not uncommon for puppies to start exploring their environment by sniffing around and investigating what’s going on around them.

If this happens, your dog might start to see another dog as an object of curiosity.

They may want to investigate it more closely, so they might start to lick it.

This could be because they find the smell interesting, or maybe they’re just being playful and having fun.

Once they get used to that idea, they may continue to explore other dogs and start to lick them.

This isn’t necessarily aggressive – in fact, it can be quite harmless.

However, if your pup keeps doing this behavior over and over again, it could indicate that he has some sort of problem, like separation anxiety or aggression.

A dog may lick another dog to selfsoothe

If your puppy starts licking another dog out of excitement, that’s normal.

When your pup is feeling stressed or scared, it’s natural for him to seek comfort from another animal.

However, if your puppy spends a lot of time licking another dog, that could indicate something more serious than just being curious about the new dog.

You should contact your veterinarian if your pup licks another dog excessively.

The vet can perform tests on your pup to see if there’s any underlying medical condition causing him to act this way.

A dog may lick another dog to groom them

If your pup has just met another dog, he might try to groom them by licking their fur.

This helps dogs get rid of loose hair that could cause irritation.

Dogs also use this behavior to mark their territory.

They can smell urine on an area where they’ve marked it, so if they see another dog urinating in
that spot, they will know it’s theirs.

Another reason why dogs lick another dog is because they may be trying to communicate that they don’t like them.

However, this isn’t always the case.

Sometimes, they’re just curious about what the other dog is made of, or they may not know how to
read body language.

In these cases, they may lick the other dog just to let them know that they aren’t dangerous, and they’d rather not fight them.

Dogs also have different ways of greeting other dogs.

There are some breeds who greet each other in a very aggressive way.

For example, pit bulls will often bite each other when meeting.
