| No air dry here. My girl can't wait to get in front of the dryer, as she thinks she is freezing to death. LOL

| Never air dry, especially in the winter. Coat's should be brushed dried.

| LOL mine acts like a complete nut too until I can get the blow dryer on...then she still acts like a nut! I do the same thing with holding her for a while- we just got done bathing her and I sat down next to the fire with her wrapped in a blanket...so loved that part until I got the blow dryer out. That's what got me thinking maybe I didn't have to do it all the time. I just wonder how her coat would dry since I've never done it... |

| When mine were little and it didn't take much to get their hair because it was still pretty short, I dried them in front of the firplace in the winter. I just sat with them in my lap in front of the heat and brushed them till it dried. Now I use a dryer. It would take too long to get their coat dry with just the fireplace. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Oh man... I NEVER air dry...She get a bath once a week. We use a warm towel from the dryer and a hair dryer... She get way to cold without it... She has a cotton coat and I thought that it would dry out her hair... But we use a great shampoo and conditioner and her coat looks beautiful

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Morgan's coat looks terrible if I allow her to air dry. I always dry her with my blow dryer, a spritz of leave in conditioner, and a pin brush (if her hair is long enough). Morgan loves the blow dryer. She wants me to "dry" her every morning when I do my hair

| Just in the few seconds it takes me to get the bath cleaned up and the dryer plugged in, they act like they are going to freeze to death right there in the steamed up bathroom |

| I blow dry. Bailee's hair is kinda long and he would get rather chilly in the winter months if I air dried ~ even with the heat turned up.

| Only in the summer. Bubba loves the dryer. Sissy acts like I am trying to electrocute her with it.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Mine HATE the blow dryer. Thankfully, because they are both in short coats, they dry very quickly with just a towel and the air.

| I also towel dry and brush, it doesn't take to long with her short cut. I never thought of putting a towel in the dryer, I may try that next time.

| Haha these are hilarious- Millie acts the same way, like it's -20 degrees in our house. That's why i wrap her up, I think it calms her down a little bit too. She hates the dryer, and her hair is fairly short- so I may give it a try. But definitely not right now since it's so cold. |

| Mine did not like the blo-dryer, but anything else wasn't an option because our vet told me to never let her get too cold. The thing that really helped me was that I bought a stand for the blow-dryer. I lay down a couple of towels to give her good padding, and turn the blo-dryer on in the stand. She was much more comfortable with blo-drying after I got the stand. I think she likes the fact I can't get the dryer too close and I have both hands free to have on her while she is drying. The stands are relatively inexpensive and after having one I will never be without it. |
