Lola is not a big kisser. She rarely every licks me. Just find that interesting that she is so NOT a licker and other dogs I have had in the past past were huge lickers with the tongue.:confused:

Nope. Not at all. I have to literally BEG him to give me a kiss...and then its like a single lick on the nose.
This is Renny's behaviour, too. When he finally does give me a kiss, it's just a tiny one, not slobbery/non-stop ones like Lacey used to give!

Yep... he's a licker.

My mom actually thinks I'm a #trainerfail because I haven't taught him not to lick. :D

Something else he does which I love and he's done this since he was a puppy is he will do this teeny nibbling thing on my arm or shoulder. It doesn't hurt at all. We think it's either an affection thing or a "submissive gesture" like grooming.

Chum doesn't lick faces, just hands and arms. He is an enthusiastic licker when I've applied fresh hand lotion :uhoh:
This is the only time Kasey licks. It is so funny at night before bed I always use lotion and she lays in her crate licking trying to get to me! My inlaws brought their lab over this weekend and she is a major licker so I have to say I am really glad Kasey is not because it drove me crazy!

Yes! Mosby not only loves to kiss us, but he loves to lick all new items he comes in contact with (seeing what they are, perhaps????)! We've done a lot of soft mouth exercises with him to prevent biting, and I think they kind of encourage licking, so maybe that sort of urged him along????

Shelly (pit bull) LOVES to lick. When people make a comment about pits being vicious, i say yea...she will lick you to death if her tail doesn't get you first.

She will do a drive by licking on your hands, or if shes able to get to your face, you will be slobbered in kisses. Theres no way i can teach her not to lick, but thankfully she did learn the word "enough" :p

Macintosh was not a licker would be lucky once every 6months
Dakota loves to lick and kiss but you can tell her to stop and she will
Evan licks and I am working on getting him to stop when asked, but we have an 8 month old baby that he just loves. Evan is almost a year old so tons of puppy still

No not really. I just sometimes get a quick lick after feeding Champ. I guess that's his way of saying "thank you". He'll also probably lick if I put my face right in front of his and make a kissy noise, but he usually doesn't just come up to anyone and lick them.

If I get down on the floor, Max will lick my face off. He'd kiss a frog if it would stay still long enough. Wait, I think he actually DID kiss a frog once! It was funny - his best friend, also a Golden, would NEVER give kisses to anyone but me. (I yelled at a guy in a pet store who insisted "all Goldens give kisses" while shoving his face into Duke's. I told him if he got bit, it was his own ****** fault and to back off.) It would annoy the bejinkies out of his owner that she could beg for kisses and maybe, if he felt like it, Duke would give this little lick, but all I had to do was say the word and he was smoochin my face. :)

Not only does Charlie give kisses - he licks everything!! It drives me nuts (not the kisses - the extra licking). This week he's licked: the tile floor, the carpet, the cat, my husbands beer can, my plate with used tea bags on it, my comforter, his crate, snowflakes, a leaf on the ground, moss on the ground, crumbs on kitchen floor & my kids. I'd be okay with just kisses.....
