Maybe just leave it on the floor where she will have to walk over it or be near it from time to time. When she gets accustomed to it while it is off then occasionally turn it on when she is not too close. Letting her watch when your other dogs get blown dry might help, too. Puppies that are just experiencing new things can get freaked out easily especially if it is something they were not expecting, like a vacuum.
I had a kitten that was playing in the bath tub once when I decided to run the vacuum in there. I didn't see him behind the curtain and the sound was really loud because we have stone floors in there. He freaked out and was kind of trapped in there for a few seconds. He is still very scared when he hears loud noises. |
Amirah has never seen a groomer yet. That was part of the reason I wanted to blow dry her. I thought once I did take her to one they might use them. So I wanted to get her used to it.
