    I have also heard that dogs licking another dog's mouth is a submissive behavior. I think sometimes it can be affection or it just simply tastes interesting lol.

    He usually acts aggressively towards her. She is over a year now and this whole time when he first sees her he will growl and snap at her. So it's good he was behaving this way

    Skya is a major mouth licker.....every dog, sometimes to the point where they are annoyed and like "GET OUT OF MY FACE." If we have any new dogs over she just follows them around and licks their mouths. I'd say she's possibly the lowest ranking member of my dog pack, she won't eat her food until the other dogs have finished. I think she has appointed herself as the low pack member, they don't treat her any different. However with dogs she doesn't know she acts pretty vicious at first and if they don't act vicious back then she acts like they are best friends, if they act vicious back its another story. So she doesn't really act submissive to all other dogs? She's hard to figure out, she's a nut. But yeah the mouth licking is pretty common in dogs.

    My mom's little poodle mix always does this to her shepherd mix. It's almost like she's so happy to see her and that is her way of expressing it.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
