[Annie&Badger]

My apologies if this has already been covered. I've done a search but can't find any specific information so I'm hoping some of you learned ladies will be able to help.

Badger is such a friendly little boy but sometimes I think he's too friendly. Both today and yesterday, I had two separate lots of friends over and on both occasions, Badger really embarrassed me. My one girlfriend was sitting on the sofa and he jumped up and launched himself straight at her all licking and putting his face in hers. My other friend today picked him up to stroke him and he did the same to her. I know not everyone loves Yorkies but these are both dog lovers and both of them were kinda "Oh" when he did it and I could tell they weren't comfortable. He doesn't sit still to be stroked either, it's just a constant wriggle and over-excitement. Now he doesn't do this with me but he does do it with my husband which makes me really cross. I've told him not to allow him to do it but he thinks that's 'cruel' to Badger because he should be allowed to 'express himself'. I don't know if I agree with that

Can you suggest anything I can do to train this over-excitement out of him? The same goes with the constant 'kissing'. We sit on the train sometimes and I find it mortifying that he tries to kiss everyone in sight. I know it sounds really cute but in reality it just looks awful.

Any advice would be really welcome because this is all starting to really become a problem for me
