| Does your Yorkie lick, I mean ALOT? I'm assuming that this is Paisley's way of showing affection when you hold or pick him up but its almost nonstop when you hold him.lol My husband tells him if he keeps licking his tongue is going to fall off!! Is there something up with this or is it just him? MY first yorkie did't do this. Just curious!! |

| My Tate absolutely loves to kiss me. I think he'd go on for hours if I let him. My others are all kissers, too, but they stop after a couple of minutes. I really don't think anything is wrong with Tate, and I hope he never changes!

| Yes!! Teddi does the same thing. I want her to be one of those dogs that visits people in the hospital and I read their website and they say the dog can't lick! I don't know how to train her not to lick!! (although I kind of love it!)

| GL licks especially at night if I let him. We are finally breaking his habit of attacking the face with the licking. He sleeps under the covers between my legs at night and if i let him he would lick the skin off of my feet! |

| Kandi does that, but Gizzy doesn't. I think it's just a personality thing.

| Jackson barely licks, lol. I don't know why, it's just not his thing. My dad's dog licks constantly and it can get annoying after like 30 seconds... it's like, okay! LOL.

| Every time Ella is in my arms it's constant licking. Sometimes it gets too me so i'll snap her tongue between my lips and that stops her. She'll turn her head from me. Very funny. =]

| Roxie is a licker...especially in the morning when she first gets up. She loves to jump on my lap and lick the daylights out of me. She has even licked inside my ear!

| Jasper is a licker too. He loves to lick my legs. Its really weird! But if I'm in bed or laying on the couch he'll crawl under the blankets and lay down and start lickin away! I usually let him cause I think its just an affection thing. |

| I was thinking it might be the fact that they like licking the salt off of my skin because they only focus on my neck after I've been to the gym and been sweating lol. Just a theory. |

| Cesar Milan did a show on this... I can't recall if it was a Yorkie, But I think it was... He said it is a nervous habit... And they way to tell for sure is if your dog does it to other people too, friends, other family members etc... It is an obsessive behaviour.. |

| Both of mine are lickers! Shelby likes to lick inside one ear then he switches to the other. Maddy looks intensely at you and keeps moving for your face, if I try to hold him back, he will take his paw and try to push my hand out of the way
