All my passed girls were kissers, I trained them also to "give momma kissie kiss", didn't really have to do much asking tho lol, if they did something naughty and I scolded them my youngest one would pout, then I would ask for a kiss. No matter what they were doing, if I asked for a kiss they would run to me give me kisses the go back to torturing each other lol. Cody being my adopted boy, got him when he was 2 1/2 y/o must have been taught by prev. to not lick . It took me 11 months to get him to cuddle with me when we went to bed, I have to assume they allowed him on the bed, but he was not allowed to be near or next to them. I have been working on him to show him it's ok to kissie momma, he has the sweetest tiny tongue, no he's not a tiny pup, he's a teapot, 12lbs, but has a tiny tounge, he's getting there. I am grabbing him all day swooping him up and smothering him in kisses everyday lol .....as a kid I was told if you had a cut, dog licking the wound helped heal it, could be one of those "ole wives tale's", I've never let a dog do that.
