Teach your dog to give a kiss:
1. Place one hand on your dog's chest and the other on the side of his neck. This will allow you to gently push him away if he gets over-excited.
2. Put your face near your dog's. Say "kisses" and make a series of quiet kissing sounds. Most puppies and many adults will immediately start licking.
3. If yours doesn't lick when he hears the cue smear a dot of cream cheese on your cheek and try again.
4. As soon as your dog licks, praise and offer a treat. This both rewards the dog and stops the licking before he gets carried away.
Teach your dog to receive a kiss...
1. Place one hand on your dog's neck and gently hold his muzzle with the other. This protects from nips while your dog learns to kiss gently.
2. Kiss your dog's cheek or the top of his head then give a treat.
3. When he accepts kisses calmly, try it without restraining him. Keep your hands ready to block in case he moves too fast.
