I believe that all pet owners who keep dogs have been licked by their own dogs. Many pet owners may think that dogs are dirty licking people and will refuse to lick them.
Actually, the dog licks you to tell you these things, don’t understand them wrongly.
1. Want to know you better
Dogs are very sensitive animals. By licking, smelling, you can know what is happening around you, what the person has done, his emotions, etc. This is also the reason why dogs can become police dogs.
And the dog licks you, in fact, just to understand where you went and what you did through the smell on your body. So when you go home, the dog will pounce on you and lick you. It just wants to understand you better. Do you still think it is dirty?
2. Help you disinfect wounds
As we all know, dogs' saliva has the effect of disinfecting them. When dogs are injured, they will lick the wounds themselves to relieve pain.
When the dog finds that there is a wound on you, it will gently lick you to help you disinfect the injured area. This is also a sign that the dog cares about you and feels sorry for you. Do you still think it is dirty?
3. Confessing your love to you
Dogs and humans are two completely different creatures, both in terms of appearance, thinking, and expression of emotions.
If the dog licks you gently and his body becomes very soft, it is actually the standard "love you". The dog sends a signal of love to you. At this time, if you touch it, the dog will feel very happy.
4. How to occupy you
Dogs are animals with strong territorial consciousness and possessiveness, and they also like to use their smell to mark things and territory. In fact, when a dog licks you, it just wants to leave its own scent on you, and it just doesn't want other dogs to covet you.
This is the way dogs declare sovereignty. Of course, the dog wants to occupy you because it loves you. Do you still think it is dirty?
5. Say "sorry" to you
In the process of raising dogs, dogs will inevitably make mistakes, and many dogs will recognize their mistakes when they are scolded by their owners. At this time, they will come to lick their owners and beg for their owners for forgiveness.
No matter how smart the dog is, it cannot be like us humans. If you can do everything perfectly, you will make mistakes. The pet owner should not scold the dog indifferently. It is recommended to point out the dog's mistakes and then guide and correct them.
6. Discomfortable
Dogs are very smart and humane. Although they can't speak, they can communicate with their owners through various body languages, and licking is their common way.
If the dog licks you gently, then lie weakly beside you, even showing a painful expression, moaning, etc., then it may be that it is feeling uncomfortable, this is the distress signal it sends to you. It is best for pet owners to help them check their bodies in time and prescribe the right medicine as soon as possible.
Conclusion: Does your dog like to lick you? What does it want to express?
