So Julz, you don't tape the ears, just trim the hair and that seems to work to make the ears stand up?
BTW, your avatar looks like a little Boyd's bear. What a SWEETIE!!!!

Then you have to make sure they are completely dry so they don't catch a chill. You also have to watch you don't burn their sensitive skin and keep the drier moving, not in one position. Also, never let water get in their ears. I use a wash cloth on the face. Oh boy....I did it again....ran on and on too much
