Yeah usually their pawls and certain areas just not the whole body like a cat

To a point, but not like a cat. Dogs need brushing, their ears cleaned every so often and baths. Sometimes dogs will lick each other's ears or even each other's teeth. Some dogs may groom their paws, but this is usually from an irritation of some sort or a bad habit of the breed than grooming.

They lick themselves wherever they can reach, gently chew where their fur is thick, and rub themselves on any suitable rough surface they find. Most dogs need human help - the longer the fur, the more help they need.

every couple of weeks

Dogs groom themselves by licking, and chewing. They do this as often as they feel the need.

People have their dogs groomed, either by doing themselves or taking them to a professional groomer as the breed requires.

- a house pet, need its claws trimmed and coat washed and combed about every 4 to 6 weeks.

- a show dog need constant grooming to keep their coats in top "show" form.

It is their way of showing affection that they like each other.
