My dog is a submissive wetter. When he wets, he knows he's done wrong, and he tries to fix the matter by licking it to clean it up. Your dog may be doing this for the same reason.

Could be a Mineral she needing. Try buying a small Salt Block either at a pet shop or farm supply. Just get a plain one.

We had crate trained dogs with no problem in the past until we got a bassett and had NO luck. We had to get rid of her and got ANOTHER one and had the SAME problem. Bassetts were bred to be stubborn so they wouldn't give up on hunting small game. You're going to have to be patient.

If you yell at a dog for having an accident they tend to try to hide the evidence, by eating/ drinking it or going behind a couch for example. She might just be scared to get yelled at.

Maybe she's reclaiming it or something crazy like that. She knows it belongs to her so she doesn't want anyone else to get a hold of it. Hey she's new to the world, she hasn't quite figured it out yet

The same reason my 6 month old Boston Terrier eats her own doo doo. And her vomit. I almost LOSE IT when she does that!! Just dogs being dogs I guess.

maybe she's trying to clean up after herself. She may know that she will be in trouble and she's trying to get rid of it. Or maybe it's like when dogs eat poop. She's not getting enough protiens from her food. Who knows why dogs do the nasty things they do.
