| Bath time Milo is ok with bath time but when I get him out he can't stand it. He tries to get away from me. Shakes from being cold no matter how dry I get him. How can I help make after bath time easier for us both?

| I think we're very fortunate that Harry LOVES the hairdryer....funny boy! Having said that, we also put his towel in the tumble dryer for 10 minutes while showering him, so he's wrapped up in cuddly warmth from the minute he's done....might be worth a try? Sally + Harry x |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Great suggestion. I dry Galen with a towel. Then I take a dry towel and wrap him up in it and sit on the couch for 5 mins. He calms down and it also helps wick more of the moisture off him. He is not a fan of the dryer lol

| That's what I do too, sometimes if Henri is dry enough I will just use a blanket instead of another towel. Recently he I have tried blow drying him and he actually likes it, some times he bugs me to blow it on him when I'm drying my hair! weirdo pup

| Hannah hated it all until I started making her work for a snack in one hand while I had the dryer going in the other. That snack kept her close so I could finish the job. And yes those sharp teeth did hurt my hand!She used to growl and snap at the dryer and now it is her new BF. She still gets angry with the towel and tries to attack it but I just la ugh and keep rubbing. She always gets a warm breeze when I do my hair! Til this day when I comb her hair she has one of my fingers in her mouth. She doesn't chew she just wants a finger in her mouth?????

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Oh Galen does get blow dried. So not a fan of his face getting done. I keep a handful of halved Cheerios on hand for bribes lol
