You can try distracting him or diverting his attention when he does it but this is just a relic of puppyhood that is left over. Most dogs will eventually stop this. It tends to not be pathologic unless he sucks on the same site repeatedly and causes a rash.I hope this at least points you in the right direction. Please post again with any further questions.
