How many of you let your dog lick your face?

  I never thought there was that much wrong with it, but a friend and I were talking about it and he has a dog and says it's disgusting. I don't really mind it much but I'm curious to see how other dog owners feel about it. To be honest, I don't think I would like a dog that slobbers licking me? What breed is your dog and what do you think?
I love my dogs, but seriously people! Dogs lick a lot of stuff that ISN'T a human face ... if you get my drift.



@ Dog Section Regular's answer, eeew! It sounds like you are dating a Pit Bull! I would watch out if she loses her shyness and wants to ....
For me it's a sign of a nervous or anxious dog.

I don't allow it so that the dog is encouraged towards more calm and confidence

or will reveal a problem I don't know about.



Balanced happy dogs lick sparingly and usually only as a greeting.



More than that could signal an issue.
My dogs get away with almost anything. They are spoiled, but, licking the face is a definite no no. They have been taught and they no what no lick means. My chihuahua sometimes forgets . She has selective memory (lol). All we have to say is no lick and that's the end of it. I think its very ugly to see people let their dogs lick them in the mouth and face. Yucky.
my parents don't like it so she is trained no lick.

My dog is a Pit Bull and I ASK for kisses on my face. Sometimes I have to beg because she gets shy.

I have 3 dogs:

Dachshund

I find that the bigger lab doesnt lick much anyway. But my dachshund licks some and i dont mind it. It shows affection and that they care for you

I once heard that when a dog licks your face, it's a sign that he knows you are the alpha.

So yes, I let him:)
