| Welcome to YT and thank you for giving Ginger a loving forever home. Tibbe is a limited licker but some dogs, especially nervous, anxious dogs can lick a bit too much and you can just redirect them to something else with the phrase "uh oh" or say "enough" & toss a toy across the room. I'll bet you are going to love having a lapdog like Ginger. Likely she'll have some behavioral issues due to her many home changes and that is to be expected. You can just work on them as they arise and your little Yorkie will soon settle in very well. I'm so glad that you found each other and she led you to YT!

| Hi and welcome to YT. Buster is another Yorkie who can't hold his licker. I get lots of kisses but he loves to lick Jack's arms and feet I guess he just loves Daddy salt. He will actually put on paw over Jack's arm or leg and hold it down so he can lick him. I know you and Ginger will enrich each others lives.

| Question Can I teach my dog to stop licking ? Yes, we teach our Yorkies licking is only allowed when we ask for kisses. Therapy dogs should not lick unless asked. We give the cue word Enough, after 3 licks. And No if they try to sneak in an extra few licks.

Yorkie Talker | Hello and a big THANKS to all of you for your replies!!! I am beginning to become accustomed to the licking, somewhat. When Ginger is sitting on my lap she will take a paw and pull my hand towards her...this is done so that I will give her a 'belly rub'. If I stop sooner than she thinks I should have, she will again put her paw on my hand and again pull it towards her. Funny. I get a kick out of this. Yorkies are intelligent and great manipulators I think. Again, thank you. |
