Thanks, that sounds great. I've actually gone ever further back with him... he tries to bite the brush/comb, so I've started making him lay down, and stay while I brush him. He gets a treat when I can touch him with the brush without him moving. then by the end of the session I try to get his face at least once without him moving. We're making some progress.

I will start treating him for being around the blowdryer to.

He isn't afraid of the bathroom, cause he loves to run and play in there when he's free, and he likes water, so the bathing/being in the bath tub is ok as well.

Thanks again!
