Relative to standing still for the drying process, try letting him run around for a few minutes and enjoy some post-bath zoomies. Then put him wherever you want to dry him. I don't brush while using the hair dryer because I don't have a stand. Brushing/combing for me requires 2 hands, 1 to hold the hair to prevent pulling and the other to hold the brush and comb.
When I dry, I use my fingers to move the hair and then shut the dryer off to do a little real combing in between.
Keep working with him and he will get the hang of staying in one place. I put my boys on the counter and body block them and always have one hand ready to keep them from jumping. |
I have always tried to brush and dry at the same time, which is why it has a tendency to pull. I am worried that if I dry without brushing, the knots will be worse and he will end up curly. The whole curly thing is why I can't let him air dry, either. I am still considering a grooming table, but I will try alternating drying and brushing next time.

Thanks! I love his coat long, too. I don't think I would recognize him if he was cut short!
