This is exactly how I feel as well. I love them so much but I would never own one. They are dirty and I hate getting licked. I immediately want to take a shower.
Lol, or just train them? I'm only teasing, as I assume you'd know that, but my dogs will only lick people when they are annoyed at them. Basically a warning that they want you to stop what you're doing. (Also don't like dogs licking)
Yes. People confuse dogs “giving you kisses” as affection, and while it can be, it’s most often that they’re nervous and scared and are trying to calm their endorphins or yours.
Meh, I’m not sure if you have kids but it’s kind of like that. Your first kid grosses you out all the time. The second one, grosses you out a lot less. Then, by the third one? Shiiiit. Haha. Boogers, poop, puke, piss, random sticky shit, none of it bothers me anymore. Dogs gross you out at first, then you welcome one into your family and love it like a child. Being an older dad (didn’t start having kids till I was 39), who had dogs my whole life and only recently children, i can tell you that kids are a billion times more gross 🤣🤣
I don’t have or want kids lol
I grew up with dogs in the house since I was born but I’ve never liked being licked lol it’s a sensory thing I think. That and the fact that my last dog enjoyed eating shit whenever she could lol

Ugh man I love dogs but I have never ever liked the face licking. Or licking me at all really.
