| Mr. Licky Lickerson (rolls eyes lol) Pixel never used to lick very much at all and so I think *I* may have caused this because every time he would be nippy (not in an aggressive way) while playing, I would "yelp," say "no bite give kisses" and take my attention away. Well it worked with the nipping. He is hardly ever mouthy now and if he ever starts to I just say uh uh and he immediately licks me like he's saying he's sorry. Soooo is he wanting to bite me constantly so he's licking instead because he kisses me CONSTANTLY now!! I can't stand it!! If he's touching me, he is licking me. I feel badly fussing with him about it, because he's being so sweet and giving kisses, but it's getting REALLY old. He would lick, lick, lick me all damn day if I let him!!!! I love him but not THAT much lol Anyone have any advice for this? I'd really rather not continue to be a doggy pop! LOL |

| Awww! How sweet is that?!?! I have no advice for you tho, sorry Sam gives tons of kisses to Nana when he wants a bite of something OR if I have told him "no", he gives her kisses then cuts his eyes at me to see if I care. With me, its mainly at night time when he starts in. I was thinking there was a thread on here somewhere at some point about dogs the lick but I cant remember. Maybe someone else does.

| Thanks twalla. Yeah, it's sweet, but I would prefer one or two and then just relax lol I guess he does seem to do it more at night also. When he's just chilling with me on the couch. Yeah, Rachel, I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I do tell him "no kisses" and he stops immediately but one second later he is back at it. I feel so bad because he will finally just move away from me after I've fussed at him a few times and look at me all sad like why am I always in trouble |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Hi, my Maltese (2 years old)is like that. He will lick and lick, kissy and kissy non stop if I let him. I do what was suggested here. I let him have a fair amount of kisses, then I tell him, no more kisses. I usually then pet him or rub his belly for a short time after that and it seems to satisfy him. I can relate though what you are saying about licking too much!!! |

| Samantha has been a licker since day one! In fact, it has gotten worse as she's gotten older. We're talking full tongue licks here, not kisses! She even "helps" my masseur with my massages. When she licks me too much, I have started pulling my arm away and saying "no more." Sometimes I have to say it twice, but usually she stops and lies down. She only does this with me. Her other human friends she kisses. Vivian |

| I know what you all mean about too much licking. Izzy is the king of licking...especially feet! Its either me or someone else. He will lick you all day if you let him. It's sweet but can be very annyoing. When I put on his harness, or get close enough to his mouth he takes every opportunity! Now when Ive had enough, I just say "okay thank you, thats enough."

| Thanks for the reply vlccairo. Yeah, Pixel gives full on licks too - that's why it's so gross!! That's good yours stops when you do that. Pixel will for a second, but then goes right back to trying to lick me. Ack! izzy816 - Ewwww yes, the feet is the worst!! Pixel loves that too! That sounds just like him with the putting on harness thing too. whenever I am close enough to touch him, he is licking!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who finds this severely annoying!! |

| What will work is end it in a positive way If he's licking you to death pick him up and pet him and in a good nice strong voice say Thank you It will break his train of thought and allow you to redirect
