I have a question that I am hoping someone might be able to help me with. I have a 6 year old golden retriever. She loves to lick. She licks everything in site. If she can't lick someone or something, she will lick the air just so that she can lick. It drives me crazy. She has always been like that. It is the only thing that I don't like about her. Someone told me one time that it is a sickness of some sort but I can't remember what she called it. Is there something that I can give her or do to help her some with this constant licking? She would be a much better dog than she already is if I can get her to stop licking me and everyone/everything else. If my hand is down when I'm walking, she likes my hand and if not my hand, my pants or anything else.
