The answers might depend on you personally and your individual dog. Generally, licking is not considered a serious behavior problem unless it really bothers you. Affection It's fair to say that your dog is probably licking you because he loves you! There's a good reason for calling licks " kisses." Dogs show affection by licking people and sometimes even other dogs. Licking is a natural action for dogs. Attention -Seeking Licking behavior that starts as affection often gets reinforced by a person's reaction: laughing, smiling, petting, etc. Maybe your dog is bored or lonely. There you are and he wants your attention. Even negative attention can encourage licking. You Taste Good One that dog gets to licking you, he might realize you have an intriguing human taste that is slightly salty. Dogs love anything that has an interesting taste! Plus, licking is a way for your dog to explore his world. You're part of that world after all. Instinct When wild dogs return to their pups after a meal, they regurgitate meat from the hunt. The pups, too young to hunt on their own, lick the meat from around their mouths. It is believed by some that this licking behavior has been passed down in the DNA, causing dogs to instinctively do it sometimes.

A.Licking is considered a serious behavior problem if it really bothers you.
B.Licking isn't a natural action for dogs.
C.Licking can also be reinforced by negative attention.
Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 1 to 5. Welcome to our small business set-up guide, providing all the information you need to start your business on a healthy, solid basis. From choosing the right name for your company and making your first business plan, through to up-to-date taxation (税务) advice, banking and insurance tips, each subject is discussed in the guide. We also look at the vital characteristics you'll need to survive in business. Determination and originality (原创性) are key. Equally, so is the ability to organize your time and to put in the required effort during the early days. As with any new business, success can never be guaranteed, but our aim is to reduce the difficulties involved in setting up a business on your own. We'll forewarn you of the most common problems, including failure to research your market in sufficient detail and not setting aside enough funds for tougher financial times. Starting up even the smallest business can be challenging. But take comfort in the fact that you are not alone. In fact, of the four million businesses currently in operation in the UK, more than 99.3% are classified as "small", with fewer than 50 employees. In order to keep this guide as brief as possible, where we've not had enough room to include every detail, you'll find a link taking you to the most relevant (相关的) articles.
