I maybe reading into this too much but I wondered if there is a behavioural reason for my 7 year old Lab X for licking people a lot. We have only just got her last Saturday so dont know if she has always done this. She licks hands, arms faces any bit of human flesh on view. I wondered if it was her showing submission in the "pack" so to speak but I haven't known a dog to lick so much

Hi! Welcome to the forum. Don't really have an answer to why your dog does all the licking, lol, maybe he is just showing his happiness at being rescued!

You may have hit the nail right on the head there!

At any pet store you should be able to find a Green Apple Spray. It is non toxic but dogs absolutely HATE the taste. Start to condition your dog by covering all available skin with clothing except your hands.
