Mamamia’s Keryn has a strange problem with her pupper, Vinnie, aka Vincent Maree. “My dog is licking my lounge. It’s made of fabric and he just keeps doing it. I tell him to stop but he just does it again. Why is he doing it and how can I stop him?” she asks.

Dog trainer, Mel Ritterman together with Animal Behaviourist, Dr Kate Mornement, reveal the answers!
