My dog licks myself & other people excessively & I am not sure why. Why does she do this & what can I do to help reduce it?

Some dogs are just really enthusiastic about licking. Sometimes it can be caused by their bodies being itchy. I would have Mocha examined by a vet first to determine if there is a cause for itch. Then the vet can discuss itch treatments or behavior modification to help with the social licking.
