OK, this is totally just a rumor, so please don't think I'm pretending to know what I'm talking about. But my mom's dog is a psycho licker as well, and she said she'd heard it was one behavior that commonly manifests if a pup is weaned from its mother too quickly. I have NO idea if this is true or not, but it sounds like an interesting theory?
Nikko likes to lick quite a bit too, but nothing too excessive. I just get the occasional inside-of-the-ear bath, nostril cleaning, and lip (or sometimes inside of mouth) kisses. He always dives straight in for inside licks if I ever yawn, lol.
