So to get them to stop no yelling no pushing no scolding or more will happen. put it on a cue kiss or ignore it and it will slow and stop.

This is one reason: a submissive dog licks those higher up in the pack, and its usually on the mouth. My yorkies love to get me in the face with the behavior, and the little pup will do this to his older sister; the sister does this to her bigger doggy pals we see in the neighborhood. But there is also the constant licking that I doubt is because of this. Instead, I think its a compulsive behavior or because they just plain like the taste. Our first yorkie demonstrated this behavior... he liked whatever exposed flesh he could get at; and would carry on with this for maybe 30 minutes before he got tired of it
. Our current dogs don't do anything like that.
