Do you have a dog that devours their food in seconds almost like they've inhaled their food in one gulp? It doesn't just look bad, it can actually cause your dog major harm and even death.

The Lickit Buddy Rescue lick pad for dogs entertains AND reduces stress & boredom. It shines in the grooming area but doubles as an aid in behavioral adjustment training. With over 50  suction cups you can leave this with your dog and feel safe knowing it is going to stay on the area you placed it. Please note that you must clean the area with water before sticking the lick pad to it. We recommend cleaning the area then leaving it a little damp or give it a quick spritz of water to get the area wet which will help it suction longer. We have seen them stay suctioned for 4-6 hours.

There are several types of Lick Pads For Dogs and in this blog we are going to introduce you to them and give you the facts about each Lick Pad so you can make the best decision for you and your dog. We would love to say, this is best for this breed or this is best for that type of temperament but the truth is, we’ve seen these work on dogs that people have said they failed. We have seen them fail where others have said they flourished. It’s all up to you and your dog. You may decide you would rather have a lickimat that is shaped like a bowl so you can feed food and then your dog can have a lickimat snack after. So, instead of saying this is best for this behavior or breed we are just going to give you the facts about each Lick Pad. 

Encourage digging in this area by actually digging yourself, hiding bones, throwing treats in this area. You should also mark and reward your dog for digging in this area and do your best to ignore your dog or prevent your dog from digging in the other areas

Mistake #1: Waiting for the dog to come back inside to give the treat  Do this instead: Treat them outside after you mark for using the bathroom not inside. If you treat them when they come inside then you teach them to come inside and that coming inside earned a treat or coming to you earned a treat. You have to mark and treat outside right after

In order to teach your dog not to “go” in your house you have to teach your dog that “going” outside is more rewarding.  That is your challenge. Teach your dog to hold it and not let it go inside and preferably to “go” in a certain area and on cue.  The trick is to make your dog think that “going” outside is the best thing that ever happened to them. And that isn’t done with praise. 

Repetitive licking releases pleasurable and calming endorphins in dogs and other pets and is the equivalent to how a person feels that natural high after running or exercising. That’s how dogs feel when they lick. Our pets understand that feeling and will seek out that feeling through licking other things.
