Scared of the blow dryer - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gucci doesn't like the blow dryer either. She tries to bite it. The blow dryer is on a low heat setting and she still hates it. My daugther has long hair so I always have to blow dry her hair and Gucci just hides under the dresser. I see her face like what are you doing to her. I think I have a scary cat, lol.

Everything that I have read states that a blowed dried coat looks the best. I don't blow my dog's coats unless it is during the winter.

At first Josie hated the blow dryer but, now the more we use it, the better she is. She's really great about sitting untill it's all over. I just talk her through it. Then she gats a special little treat along with praises. We've noticed that on days we she just air dries she not as fluffy and soft. As with the blowdryer she's ready for a "Show" lol

Last Friday, I gave General Patton his first bath in his new home. He did remarkably well with the bath, but after I towel dried him, I turn blow dryer on low, and he quickeverd as though I was hurting him. I couldn't stand the look of fear, so after less than a minute, I stopped(he was almost dry). I am sure I'll have the same look when I do it again.

Gucci also runs like a mad woman after a bath and rubs her body all over my bed and furniture.

The 1st few times I used a blow drying on my two they didnt like it either, but they are used to it now

Pebbles trys to run away when I use the blow dryer!

ldenise · 06-29-2005, 08:32 PM

you know when you blow dry your own hair at first it feels cold even if you got it on high heat? this is what they feel when you first turn the dryer on them. after a while they think it is not so bad because it isn't so cool after all. Buckeye is real good and stands still while i dry him. but as always Ahia is the terror of the two. she runs around and drys off.

Finally! This morning I gave Kacee a bath and she sat in the tub like an angel. Last time she was pretty good about it, too. I got her out and towel-dried her well and turned the blow dryer on low warm and she just curled up on the towel in my lap and let me blow her dry. I turned her over and did the other side, too. She was an angel the whole time. I couldn't believe it!

All of mine would rather stay dirty as to have a bath and blow dryer. I have a professional dryer that sets on the floor but the air is really strong. I think it is the bath they hate..you know, like kids who hate showers...LOL

yorkieusa · 07-03-2005, 02:28 PM

I'm a soaker and don't like showers. What is so funny is that Kacee keeps trying to jump in the tub when I get in!

I hope she wears out that desire before she IS able to jump in!

I have one of those hair dryers with a diffuser attached. I put it on the low setting and I sit on the floor and hold it with my feet so that Dublin is a couple of feet away from the air and the noise.

It could probably win some money on Americas Funniest Home Videos with all of his squirming.

I was wondering if they make some kind of standing dryer. Are the professional ones expensive, and can you get them with lower settings or put diffusers on them???
