 Animal Behavior Network - IdealDog - Excessive Licking of People   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
If the excessive licking is attention-seeking behavior, then giving the dog any attention whatsoever during the licking process, such as talking, petting, praising, or responding in any way (even scolding), only encourages the licking and promotes more of the same.
If the excessive licking is submissive in origin, punishing the licking only promotes the behavior or it may provoke an aggressive response.
The correct and optimal response to licking is to ask the dog to do an alternate behavior, such as sit, and then praise the sitting and reward that.

 Dog Behavior - Scratching and Licking
Dogs that ritualistically scratch and lick could well be indicating that there is an allergic reaction to the food they are eating, or to an ingredient in the food.
In the dog, these cells are located in their greatest numbers on the feet and the legs, around the ears, eyes and nose, on the root of the tail and on the chest and abdomen.
