Dogs who like to lick people's ears may express their love, or they may be bored and lick their owners' ears to pass the time. In addition, because human ears produce earwax, dogs who like to lick human ears may be attracted by the smell of earwax. This situation is normal, and owners don’t need to worry. If you don’t like the dog licking people’s ears, you should refuse it in time and train the dog well.
1. Express love
Because dogs cannot speak, they express their thoughts through behavior, and licking their ears is a way for them to express love. In addition to licking the ears, they also like to lick the feet and face of their owners. This is a sign that they like their owners.
2. Boredom
If the owner does not play with the dog after returning home, the dog will feel bored and may lick the person's ears. On the one hand, it is to kill time, and on the other hand, it is hoped to attract the owner's attention in this way and let the owner play with it. Therefore, owners should spend more time interacting and playing with their dogs!
3. Like the smell of the owner
A dog’s sense of smell is very sensitive, so it likes to lick people’s ears. It may be because it smells the smell of earwax and is attracted to it.
