Why Does My Yorkie Lick Me – Understanding Licking Behavior

My Yorkie continually licks everyone. If we scold him, he just liks the air. Is that normal and can anything be done?

    Yorkie licks

    My yorkie does the same thing. Usually our hands but also my husbands face and neck. She gets mad when he wont let her lick his hand. Maybe it’s the salt in our skin or something, not sure.

    too many kisses

    One of my five is a kisser. We call it that but really its licking. The others do not so we consider it her thing and just go with it.

    Yorkie licking

    I have a 4 year old yorkie. He licks me all the time. I know he loves me and its hard to get mad at him for it but it gets to be too much at times. Anyone know why they lick so much or ideas to slow it down.
