How to STOP Dog Kisses – YUCK! – Dog Health Vet Advice

If your dog is licking you all the time then today I’m talking all about how to stop dog kisses and how to stop a dog licking your feet.

Being consistent is one of the most important things to do to stop a dog licking your face or feet. If they get mixed messages then all that will happen is they will get confused.
Consistancy is key

1 – Ignore the licking – your dog will learn the behavior doesn’t result in attention. Conversely, show attention/reward when they are showing behaviors you do want (like sitting quietly at your feet. If they keep trying to give you kisses then do not allow this – get up and walk away into another room – dog learns fun + interaction stops.

2 – Distract your dog – give them something else to lick + also keep interested + stimulated. Try:
Licki pad –
Kong –
Snuffle mat –

3 – Exercise and other forms of stimulation. A bored dog is likely to be more likely to lick you to get your attention than one who has been well exercised or had lots of mental stimulation.

4 – If you’re really struggling – do all of these things and try using bitter apple spray – – on your feet or wherever your dog is licking (although I would avoid your face) – be warned though, if this is all you do then the licking will just move elsewhere or another problem behavior is likely to develop

Still having problems? Then you’ll need to consult with your vet, a behaviorist or dog trainer.
