Krumbles a big licker, front paws and whatever he is lying on so usually bed or sofa! Leaves big wet patches Certainly far from stressed ( I hope) so I've always just thought its just a part of him.
thats what Im thinking about Cora... could it just be shes a licky wee monster?? she was severely stressed and shut down when she came but now shes so gobby and cockerlike..
In that I mean playful and a bit of a nonsense at times!!
I find it hard to see what more I could do if it was indeed caused by stress. I never leave her alone with liath say in a crate, as liath would have a pop so in the car she travels with rolo in his crate! liath travels with pepper, Cora loves the car loves her walks.
She still can be a bit weird about meeting strangers on walks twice now shes randomly barked at strangers coming towards us and as they pass gone to chase them off. she has jumped up on the back of a mans legs ( not in a I want a pat or treat way) as if to see him off. the only connection between both was both were men both in camouflage, both carrying stuff which distorted their shape, ( one was a gun, one forestry stuff)was worried this might escalate so on next walk had cheese and when we next met someone she took a barking fit at I called her back and made her sit, rewarded with the cheese. she totally ignored the man then. she is ruled by her stomach. handy for training. think when the weather is more clement am going to sit on a bench in a busy area and get her used to folk passing by. maybe invest in tube of primula as distraction. have got strangers to throw treats at her to get her used to the idea that strangers are nice things, not to be barked at and chased away. She is a work in progress!
