Sorry, but I don't agree. I just don't think they should have to hide or be hidden to do what is considered normal behavior. Maybe I'm the weird one, but I honestly don't see what is so gross about them grooming each other. :?NaliaLee said:

Then maybe they will get the hint that they can do it, just behind closed doors haha

I doubt it's all day, just more often than you'd like. Please just let them be dogs and do what's natural and healthy. You've probably got them very confused. I don't want to be mean about it, but maybe you shouldn't have dogs if you find their normal behavior so appalling or disgusting.jennifer said:I am not saying they can't clean there selfs just don't spend allday cleaning each other.
Thats because there is nothing gross about it. Its just not appropriate behavior in the human world but you cannot expect a dog to behave like a human...i mean we already expect them to potty outside or on a pad...something that is not in their nature but gosh at least let them bathe themselves.Maybe I'm the weird one, but I honestly don't see what is so gross about them grooming each other.
