In the mornings when I wake up my 1 year old yorkiepoo greets me with lots of kisses all over my face (yes its gross, but I don't mind). She then lays her neck across my mouth as if to say "here you go, take a bite".....why does she do this? Is this her way of showing me that she is submissive?

  1. Well as cats mark there territory by rubbing their neck on something because thats where scent glands are maybe she is trying to do the same thing?


  2. No.  Unless she has shown other signs of being submissive, I doubt that is the case.  I think that she is offering to let you kiss her back.  Since that is a little gross, just try petting her their, then see what happens.

  3. I have two (Female and Male) miniature Dachshunds that do it also, they BOTH run on me in the morning to wake me up, kiss me, and then rub their necks all over me.  It's a big mess of kisses and rubs!  I usually kiss them and rub them back.  It's almost like they're trying to hug you.

  4. I am so glad this came up. I had a Yorkie that did the same thing. When she was a puppy I tilted her head back and kissed her neck. She got the habit and kept doing it. One night my hubby had a business guy he works with come over. He sat down on the couch and Dolly came running up, jumped on the back of the couch and layed her neck on the man's face. Mind you, this was the first time this man had ever been in our house. She wanted him to kiss her neck. My hubby and I were lauging so hard we could hardly speak, and so was the man. I thinnk he thought he was being attacked by a five pound Yorkie! It was just hysterical!
