Yeah I wasn't trying to say they use cage dryers, I just thought that might be the only difference or reason they would specify that?
My groomer is great too. She does both of mine at the same time while I wait. She doesn't use cages she just does one dog (or one family) at a time. Loki goes first and enjoys sniffing around when he's done
Try the blow dryer - you can figure it out. Since I have thick hair I have a really good dryer that blows fast air, I think I got it at Sally's for like $40 and it is great. We go to the groomer every 6 weeks but I do weekly baths and nail trims and feet trims and that sort of thing. I was terrible at first but I've gotten pretty good. You'll get the hang of it! One tip: when you dry their faces hold the dryer back at arms length so it's not full force on their face. And try to use one with a "warm" setting because hot is too hot and the cold button is too cold. My dryer has 3 heat settings and I just use the middle one
P.S. It doesn't have to be perfect - the dogs do not care if their hair is a little curly
When we did baths a couple days ago I put sweatshirts on them right away so their hair is all sticking straight up now, but hey it was cold out
