I know this is a minor thing, but wanted to ask it anyway. I have a 14 month old yorkie that I adopted about 2 months ago. The question is, is there anyway to train him not to lick, or want to lick your hand when you go to pat him? Maybe this is just a natural trait, but when anyone leans down to pat him he keeps turning his head so he can lick their hands, this behavior seems to bother some people. Any help, or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everybody
