When Dogs Hump
Humping is a typical and instinctive activity in dogs. And, contrary to popular belief, it is not usually sexual or dominance-based. Humping other dogs, objects, or humans is a common fun pastime for dogs. To be honest, it looks very funny. Unless the other dog is bothered by the humping, there is no harm in doing so. It’s not a big deal unless it concerns the owner, and if the humping happens with other people, you might want to discontinue the behavior for their benefit.

Licking People
When your dog licks you, it usually means “I love you” or to get your attention. Also, you can taste very nice; keep in mind that our skin contains nutrients and minerals, as well as lots of sodium. We’re simply a salty treat for dogs. If your dog’s licking becomes too extreme, simple training can help train him not to do so. The best method to handle this is to ignore your dog when he licks you and reward him with a treat when he quits. Oh, and what about the misconception that dog saliva is cleaner than human saliva? This is only a myth.
