I adopted a rescue boy 2 months ago. He is 1 year old this month. I can't seem to break him of the habit of shoving himself in my face (or my husband's face) if he is sitting on our laps or in bed with us. Even if you're petting him almost constantly while he's on you or near you, he'll still want to give you a face-full every now and then. If you stop giving him attention, you're certain to get a mouthful of fur and Yorkie tongue within seconds.

I've been pushing him back and telling him "no" but he still keeps doing it. If I put him off my lap to try to ignore him for the bad behavior, he just repeatedly keeps trying to jump up.

Any suggestions?
