i gave roman a bath for the first time last week and it made me feel so bad! he was shaking the whole time and continued to do so for 20 minutes afterwards. he didnt like the blow dyer either so i wrapped him in a towel and he fell asleep... i know its not hurting him but i still feel bad :( so i dunno what im going to do. roman is 11 weeks can u take then to the groomer this young? |
Tetley's pretty good about the hairdryer. I think it really helps if they're used to seeing you use it on yourself. When I do my hair and makeup in the morning he snuggles down next to my feet and doesn't even flinch when I turn on the dryer, so when I use it on him it's no big deal. Now brushing, on the other hand, is another story...:rolleyes: Can't get him used to a brush or comb, he still feels he has to attack it. |
Mine have never been groomed by anyone but me. I don't use a blow dryer on them as it tends to dry the skin and coat. I know they are not afraid of it because if I have my head down low, blowing my hair, they check it out and I blow them a little. They love it! |

I don't blow dry either. Joey just gets a good towel-dry and then he air-dries in the house. |
Tia can't stand the sound of the blowdryer, or bathorrom fans or the vacuum. I think it's the sound of the motor that bothers her. In the winter I turn on the gas fire place while I'm bathing her so that when I'm done, I wrap her in a towel and lay a second one in front of the fireplace. It gets toasty and warm while she rubs herself dry! In the summer, we just air dry...the same way but without the fireplace. |
Jake hated his bath at first, but now he seems to enjoy it. I got him used to the blow dryer by first using it on myself so he would get used to the sound. Now he lays very still on his grooming table and lets me dry him and brush him, and he acts like it feels good. I massage him all over, he loves that! Then, he gets a treat! Have you asked the groomer how she acts when she baths and dries her? |
I've never owned a blow dryer -- I've always wrapped my sweeties up in a warm towel, then their fleece blanket and cuddle them until they dry. Always works since I've only had puppy cuts on Brutus, and now Maxwell. |
