Blanket sucking.

Huh.  I thought my paw-licking dog was weird.

last night the girl dog was licking the rug for about an hour, then puked, then kept licking the rug. she's got no doberman nor bull terrier in her; the boy dog is probably a full-blood american staffordshire terrier (another pit breed) and licks his paws sometimes when he forgets the toy that's trapped beneath them.

the best thing i've found to do when they're licking and i'm not otherwise busy is to take them outside and run them around a bit, maybe throw a ball. fifteen minutes' exercise every couple hours is a great distraction, and tires them past the point of licking by evening.

I've got a dachsund that's a blanket sucker and a lab that's a paw slopper so I got a tinge from it too. Sometimes the house sounds like bathtime at the old folks home, they get going real good.

Our dachshund is a blanket/sheet licker.  He's also a paw licker.  We think it's cause the fur between his paw pads is tickling him.

Mine usually starts by "trimming her snowshoes", aka the extra fur between her pads, but then moves on to slobber all over her paws and the bedspread she's lying on.

Ugh...  This totall reminds me.  My sweet pup is roaming my home alone, loose and free for the first time.  Due to separation anxiety troubles from before we adopted him, he started out as a crated dog while I was away at work, but I've been slowly weening him off of it.  Hopefully he's being good right now instead of... you know... defecating everywhere or destroying the couch...  We'll see.

Mine likes her crate.  Now that  she's grown up, I leave the door to it open during the day when we're gone. When I come home she's usually napping in it.

Way to go, Jaydub. You conditioned that doggie into thinking her home is jail.

Not that this isn't a harmless and very useful thing...

I know!  I'm actually rather pleased that something in the "dog owner manual" books actually worked the way it was supposed to.

This thread is alarmingly pug-free.

That's because the pugs don't have these particular problems so I have nothing to add.

But, dachshunds, now, there's a fucked-up breed of dog. I'm working with someone who has a dachshund and I am crazy about the little sucker but man, are they warped. Of course this just makes it more fun to mess with his mind. It took many weeks of careful work before I could pick this dog up without him trying to bite me. Seriously I feel like I need to figure out how to put this on my resume if I ever apply for a zoo job again. And now he seems to love it! Make up your mind, you crazy animal.

Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt and kill badgers. Mind, they were 2 to 2.5 times as big back then. Still, impressive.
