I think obsessive licking must be yorkie trait. My older dog will lick my hands until I literally can't stand it anymore. My moms dogs do the same and they will lick each other as well, which just drives my mom nuts!!!
I watched a Dog Whisperer episode on puppy mills and one of the volunteers had rescued an absolutely adorable yorkie who was an obsessive licker. She had to constantly lick everyone she came in contact with and I guess it was really annoying and was holding up her adoption process. Her foster mom would try to get her to stop but the poor pup just couldn't help herself. I forget what he did to get her to stop licking, but I think he just snapped his fingers and told her no...as if it works that easy, right?? |
