> My two-year-old Pekinese licks me constantly. When I sit on the couch, walk through the room, etc. If I don't make her stop, she will continue for 15-20 minutes. I have tried saying "no" each time, putting noxious body lotion on, etc., but nothing seems to stop her. A friend who used to raise Pekes said that was a Pekinese trait. Is this true? How can I get her to stop. I am getting hoarse from shouting "no!"

Hello fellow wet-face! My two pekinese have separate habits. My smaller one will lick unstoppably until she is either dry in the mouth or I don't taste good anymore. My other peke will sniff eyeballs-of anybody!! I don't know which habit is worse. As for how to handle it, try offering another morsel of delight. We keep Marrowbones or even cut-up hotdogs around to redirect them. Good luck!
