Hmmm... Now, that is odd... I've never seen that particular behavior, but maybe someone else around here has. I would suggest stopping it with redirection (throw a ball, etc.) every time you see it, and keep them apart when you are not at home with them. It might be a habit that will go away on its own after a while...
What kind of dogs do you have?
I hope someone can give you a good resource for this... Good luck!
Edit: I'm still stumped. It could be a nervous habit, like chewing your fingernails, or it could go deeper than that. Maybe it's as simple as your Irish Setter smelling really good! *heh* This isn't helpful at all, but the first thing that pops into my head is to shave the Setter until the younger dog forgets that it ever happened. Haha! I know. That was terrible, but it might work if it gets to be extreme.
My dogs will chew on each other's collars obsessively if I leave them on. I am not sure of the exact reasons, because I know it's not boredom, but that's a lot easier to fix than hair-chewing... Best of luck to you, an dsorry I couldn't be of more help!

it may desire to be a pair of issues. initially Take your canines to the vet, any time your puppy does something out of the conventional, basically take your canines to the vet, or a minimum of call. it may desire to be allergies, you will comprehend this by taking your canines to the vet after which you will could desire to do away with notwithstanding the canines is allergic to from it is existence. it may desire to be nerves, at which component you could attempt a chilled spray. If it is fleas (which it would not sound like) you could take it in on your interior of reach groomer (you have a papillon, i'm particular you comprehend the place one is ;) ) and ask them to take a seem. I unquestionably have a pug that licks his paws because of the fact of arthritis, they harm, yet I doubt it particularly is the case at the same time with your 8 month previous. I unquestionably have a Jack Russel who chews her toe nails, to no longer the component that they bleed she basically does it while they initiate attending to long, they trojan horse her while they are long. yet please, see a vet. Oh additionally, somebody suggested Frontline Plus, you could attempt it, yet we've been listening to a lot at my artwork (Petsmart) that folk's Vets have been asserting that Fleas and Ticks have become particularly proof against Frontline so for canines that spend very a lot of time outdoors, they are reccomending flea collars.
