oh she runs and hides when she sees the blow dryer, but after I "catch" her she is good cause she knows shes getting a good treat.

Hasn't always been this way she would wiggle, try to bite at me, but the last 2 times shes been really good. i bought this razor looking thing ( kinda looks like a miniture version of the grim reapers thing he carries, sorry best way I can describe it, basically a pocket knife with a handle) I use it to pull through her mats then comb it out it with a flea comb. works great for me it doesn't cut the hair bluntly but thins out the mats and blends in the hair.
I need to buy a better harness cause the cheapy nylon one always mats her really bad around her neck.
