You want to find a method that draws the border once with an interrupted stroke. Look at the structure of your brush and see if you can reduce the frequency of the dots until you break up the line.

Make sure you keep the borders on a separate layer. Keeps everything clear and allows you to have a version with and without borders.

In photoshop you likely want a dotted brush and then trace a work path with that brush.

In Illustrator its much the same.

Oh and what töff said is true. Try not to think of it as a problem but as a puzzle to solve.
