I have a 1.5 year old American pit bull terrier named Kane. Hes the sweetest boy, but a little too sweet. We got him from a rescue and at first his licking was okay, but now its gotten out of control. He is constantly licking you, when ever you give him the tiniest bit of attention. I don't mind being licked once and awhile, but really he will just come up and keep licking your arm until you give him attention. I think hes learned that licking means attention, even if its negative attention its still attention toward him. I've tried training him for this, I have tried getting up when he licks and sitting back down until he stops licking then give him attention. He kind of understands "no licking" he will try not to get you, he will just stick his tongue out over and over not licking you though. If it was just me in the house I wouldn't care about all this licking, but my family really does, and so does company that comes over. Its just a very annoying trait that he has. Any help on how to train him to stop licking so much would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
