Our poodle as started to lick our emulshioned textured wallpaper. He has only been doing it for around a month.
He is a very happy and healthy and very loving dog and loves to show us his affection and love for us/ He is very energetic for his age, taught him to talk, but why does h e lick the wallpaper ?
He is 14 years old on 21st of August
He has alwasys been a very clean dog, if we get held up he will wait till we get get home and head for the back door telling us he wants to go to do woopsies and wees. He has never once damaged our home, nor scratched or chewed furniture or any items of the house. he has never cherwed his plastic bed or his cosy insert, infact iof we put his plastic bed next to a new one in a pet shop, you would think it was new.

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

Spank him anh her are some websites thatwill help you teach your doggie, Obedience Training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy... and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want her to do. You can teach her anything from 'stay' (don't bolt out the door) to 'sit' (don't jump up on the visitors) to 'off' (don't chew the furniture).
Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, dig holes in your yard, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal canine activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. For example, the dog will eliminate on the carpet instead of outside; the dog will bark all night long instead of just when a stranger is prowling around outside; or the dog will chew furniture instead of his own toys. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect his natural behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
Obedience training is also an easy way to establish the social hierarchy. When your dog obeys a simple request of 'come here, sit,' she is showing compliance and respect for you. It is NOT necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measures such as the so-called alpha roll-over. You CAN teach your dog her subordinate role by teaching her to show submission to you in a paw raise (shake hands), roll over or hand lick (give a kiss). Most dogs love performing these tricks (obedience commands) for you which also pleasantly acknowledge that you are in charge.

I guess he likes the feel on his tongue!
Have you changed cleaning products lately? Maybe he likes the taste of something you are using. Or maybe he's getting a little senile. Either way, try spraying the walls with something like Bitter Apple, a taste deterrent. It tastes disgusting!

He probably just enjoys the texture of it on his tonhue, a habit. Like my habit is drumming my fingers, your dog just does it because he gets some kind of strange comfort in doing something idle that he enjoys!
