my toy poodle licks us to death?

Question

why does our toy poodle contantly lick our hands and face. she just about goes nuts on us

Answer 1

Because you are tastee.

I've heard from several people many things. I've heard because they don't have much salt in their diet, that they are just grooming you, and that they taste food that you previously have eaten.

If you want her to stop, ignore you dog when she does this. Do you talk to her at all when she does it? If so, you're reinforcing it. Don't push her away, she'll think it's a game. Give her attention when she's not licking you/when she's doing something you'd like for her to do more of, like laying down and being quiet.

If she still shows no sign of stopping, go to your local petstore and buy some Bitter Apple or Bitter End. Spray it on your hands and then let her have a taste. She'll probably hate it, though very few dogs have been known to like the taste. It might take a few time of doing this, but she will realize that you are in fact not tastee and leave you alone.

Good luck!
