My dog won’t stop licking, smacking her lips, and making mouth sounds, despite having water available at all times. I find myself needing to keep her out of the room when she does this. Does anyone else’s dog exhibit similar behavior?
Please help…

This behavior is known as ‘champing,’ which is a form of appeasement. Some dogs exhibit this behavior as they’re drifting off to sleep.
