Some dogs just hate the dryer. I have no idea why. I used the dyer on Pasquale ONCE when he was little. He barked the entire time. Now all i have to do is take the dryer out ( i'm not even using it on him) and he turns into DEVIL DOG!! It's the only time he'll show teeth and growl and bark. I have no idea why he does it, cause i let him air dry after his baths.
