It is the almost obsessive licking that needs to be treated. Most dogs like to lick and I think Yorkies are natural kissers but the dogs and pups that learn it from an obsessive mom like a puppy mill dog really need to be redirected. The brain gets stuck in that activity so it needs help stopping and getting it directed to something else. Just like with us humans learning is easier when young so this is the best time to work on it. |
