How do I teach my dog to NOT try to 'kiss' people?

Nice thought.
Abby always does it when she has been outside for a while.
Checking her P-mail and tasting the local .... well, you know.
hahahaha
Just kidding

I taught "Yes Visit" and "No Visit" to Rasa and gave the command BEFORE she made up her mind to go and greet people and other dogs. And about "cute kisses", just remember the dog uses their mouth as toilet paper and any other thing we use our hands for. Even after petting and playing with Nimai I wash my hands. And he is not allowed on the bed or unsupervised in the bedroom either. As much as I love him, I do not need any doggie germs or his bug pals.

If I'm going to break a hip thats the way to go. Abby can visit in me in rehab . Seriously Daisy gives kisses only to people who are sitting. That took some training b/c she would do it as you stepped up into our house from the garage. As she was then 72 lb 12 months to 18 months old it made coming home rather exciting. We taught that she has to Chair Bear,which was to sit in the dog chair and give kisses when the person stood in front of her. At 12 she has stopped that and now if you sit on the dog loveseat she will put her paws on the seat and give you a kiss or if your my Bro-inlaw she will reach around from the back and kiss his ear. Sorry I digress. Maybe Abby can do a sit and kiss. Sounds like the one lady just got tired of bending over and lets Abby do the work now.

I'd really love to know why PaddyD got banned. Or at least whether or not it's permanent.

Temporary. He knows why, when he comes back you can ask him if you want.

Back to the subject - I'm working on this with Knuckles now. My Golden doesn't kiss me anymore... when she was little and would try to kiss me, I'd hold her nose down and say "No Kisses!". Then when her nose would be under my chin, I'd say "Snuggles, good girl". So now she gives me "snuggles" instead of kisses. This, however, only works with me - she still loves to clean the inside of people's ears & check what they had for lunch.
