    just a question about something that is irritating

    So the question is mainly about one dog, but he does this to both my dogs.

     

    Natas has this irritating, somewhat gross habit of... licking pee. not his pee but my dogs pee and not just after she or he pees but also during a the actual peeingIck!.  I have tried many things to stop him when he is at our house.  But when I recently introduced him to my new Pup Bosco:

     

    He also started to like his pee while he was peeingConfused.  A bad habit I don't want Bosco picking up!

     I have tried: 1. holding Natas while the dogs pee, but he  immediatly runs to the urine in the grass and starts licking it. 2. I tried to spray him with the hose as soon as he starts the behavior, but ends like up like #1.  So now I pretty much don't let him out until the others pee then hose it down.

     

    But is there a reason he is doing this?  I also noticed that he licks Boscos genital areas a lot.  I'm not sure if it's because he is a puppy or what but is that normal too?

    I do love the illustrations in your post :)...As for the issue, I would be interested if anyone has a fix for this. The best I can offer is that it's just one of those things dogs do. Some dogs lick where others would sniff.

    I cant say I have a fix for it, but My GSD Jake does this also, and so does Rosie our weiner dog.

    And Jennie our other GSD, shes the best dog ever, when she poops, she cleans it up herself ( eats it )

    That has to be the grossest ever, so maybe you dont have it so bad after all lol.Crying

    I don't have any suggestio/ns either, sorry, other than giving him something to do other than licking and then reward him for "not-licking".

    My cousin does a lot of online gaming and his screen name is Natas because Satan was already taken.... 

    I think you should post Bosco to my house - he looks good enough to EAT!  What a gorgeous face Smile  Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures Big Smile
