I found that it helps to limit their space when grooming. Both Magnus/Zoey doesn't love being groomed but they'll put up with it now.
One thing I do is use the back part of the brush to "brush" them. Seems to calm them a little... I hold the treats in my hands and let them nibble on them while brushing/cutting. Of course, this would've been so much easier if I had another person to hold the treat.
Magnus settled on the routine in couple weeks but Zoey took few months. Another thing to consider is their size. If your furbutt is small like my Zoey (5.5 lbs), the dryer would be fine as you can maneuver her easily. But I think the rotating table would make it easier on you b/c you'd be able to have access to all sides of her and don't need to move her.
