My dog has an incessant need to lick the metal legs of our kitchen stools. Love the dog but is there anything that I can coat the legs with that will discourage from licking them? Thanks for your help.

Tobasco sauce comes to mind.
There are anti lick sprays on the market. The dog isn't missing something in his diet?
Hi, Have you talked to your vet? Your dog may be deficient in some kind of mineral.
Not enough chromium in his diet?
TDD
Do you have any exterior doors?
If so, put the dog on the exterior side and see if that helps. -----

I agree with the others that he needs some mineral, or else he is just bored. Add a vitamin/mineral to his food, and get him some toys. Then try to brush some hot sauce on the chair legs. This works on horses who chew wood, it may as well work for this. At worst it will not work, but wont hurt the dog.
PS. Habenero sauce is hotter than Jalapeno if one dont work, try the other.

There is a product especially made to keep pets and animals from licking or chewing on things. 'Bitter Apple' spray, found in pet stores and other places that sell pet products.
Keep the chair legs clean, good dog.
tobasco, but who cares if he licks them?
probably the best answer here. I was wondering what the hell the dog was doing IN the house.

He may just like licking something cool.
Lol. I grew up on a farm but I got a dog living in this house (to keep the peace) and he even sleeps in my bed. If he starts any shit his ass will be living outside, and he appears to have taken my hints.
He's "family", but I love him like a dog because he is a dog and treating a dog like a dog is best for the dog, as well as everyone else.
She, however, has no kids so I feel I must capitulate to her need to nurture and accept what violates a basic premise of my upbringing in relative silence because that is what appears to be in my own best self interest.
The line is drawn, and I have been allowed to draw it, in relative silence.
It is -her- dog, I'm just its master. We compromise, otherwise one of us would kill the other and have a hard-ass time finding someone else to tolerate us. -----

Substitute your penis for the chair legs !!!!!
We had a dog once that incessantly licked the screen door. It turned out the dog was retarded and had a severe mineral deficiency.

I once had for a little while a dog that liked to lick front bumpers on moving cars.
Do you live near Zzyzx Road near Baker, CA.?
