Dog Health Questions: Dog training? Dog licks everybody. How to stop?

Mother-in-law has poodle that licks when excited. He has to lick any part of your body that is exposed (perverts go elsewhere please), face, hands, feet, legs. It's extremely annoying and she wants him to stop that habit. I've tried distracting the dog, but so far that isn't working. Any ideas? Any experiences?

Thanks.

OH, and happy Fourth of July (America)

Find Out How To Prevent Your Dog From Becoming Too Aggressive By Using Some Dog Training Skills

Recommended Answer:
What I do is use a spray bottle of water and squirt the dog.
All it does is stops the dog and does not hurt it in any way shape or form
I use it for my Deaf Dane to get his attention.

so in order to stop the licking you use the water and a word associated with the water like NO.
The more you use it the more the dog will listen.

Train Your Dog - Don't Let Your Dog Train You

• We have a little bichon. She only licks me, because she knows not to lick anyone else because ever since she was little my mum used to not let her lick anyone, by shutting her snout or training her to understand the command "no". I've never really smacked her or pressed her sout down gently so she never learned not to lick me.... It's something you need to try to train them not to do from young, GLk! :)


• The best way I've found to teach a dog not to do something is to actually teach it TO do it first. We all teach puppies the no command but not the actions that go on the other end of it. We holler "no! Don't chew my shoes (or electrical cord, or chair, or rug, or you fill in the blank)!". But we seldom convey more than anger or displeasure. This is a situation you take cake advantage of though without the dog being destructive.
  
  This is how I've taught my dogs not to bark, and along for the ride I got a Speak and a Whisper out of it. ; )
