Yorkie Pats My Face With Paw. Slobbery kisses from forehead to chin, or exuberant tail wags that involve the entire back half of the dog. If your dog pawing at your face is disruptive or if it bothers you, try to prevent some potential problems until you can break the habit.

If they are only doing it occasionally it is not likely a problem. Below are some of the main reasons our yorkies give us those sweet licks to welcome us at home, while we calmly sit on the couch or when we simply cuddle them. Please, for the love of all things furry, do not use punishment as a “deterrent” to get a yorkie to stop biting.
