I hope you practiced general hygiene measures, you don't have to worry about a dog licking on intact skin. You are safe. This is not how rabies is transmitted.

If you don't have a wound on your hand and if you don't have a bite or direct contact of saliva, then nothing to worry about. Rabies spread only by direct contact of the infected animal saliva to fresh wounds.
