Codie is EXCELLENT when it comes to blow drying. He sits down and lets me do it. Katie, on the other hand, is the puppy from blow dryer hell!!! She squirms and cries - I feel so bad! But after abour 4 or 5 minutes, she realizes that I am not hurting her and stop squirming enough for me to finish. I never TOTALLY dry my dogs. I dry them about 90% because I am always afraid to burn their pretty hair.
