Am I being groomed? - Paw Talk

Catherine · #1 05-24-2003, 09:46 PM

One of my pups has started taking my fingers or hand in his mouth and moving his teeth up and down on them. It doesn't hurt and he isn't grazing the skin but it does feel to close for comfort lol. I put him up each time he did it today. Maybe it is grooming but it could get him in trouble if he did it to anyone else yanno?

He is a real sweetheart which is why I am thinking he thinks he is grooming me not being mean.

Anyway just wondering.

Cat, one of my PD's do this, it is very soothing to them to have their teeth rubbed.

One of my pd's LOVES to do this. She has never bitten me, but she loves to rub her teeth on my fingers and falls asleep when I rub her mouth. Yes, I do think you are being groomed, plus it feels good to him at the same time.

That's interesting! Thank you

You're welcome!

What is really funny is when I'm rubbing her teeth and she falls asleep with my finger in her mouth.

So THAT'S what he was doing!!

We had a PD in on Saturday and he was kind of sucking on my fingers. I was the only one brave enough to let him!
