Do you blowdry? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mimimomo · 03-25-2009, 04:20 PM

I always blow dry...if I don't, they still smell funky & their hair gets wavy. I use my blow dryer on cool setting on high. Momo likes it, but Mimi hates it, as long as I don't blow air on her face, she'll tolerate it. I put them on my lap & hold dryer w/ one hand & hold them w/ the other.

I bathe and blow dry both of my yorkies every 4-5 days and have now for about 3 years. Wet hair attracts dirt and oil more so than dry hair.

I blowdry all of them. Some don't like it others don't mind. But none of them get freeked out or upset.

I mde my won grooming arm and clamp it to my countertop. That holds them and gives me two freehands.

I was blow drying Jesse, but she now turns into the Tasmanian Devil. The last few baths I've just towel dried her. (Joe, the boxer loves the blow dryer!)

I blow dry them if it is chilly. They don't mind the body but don't like the face area. I have an attachment that narrows the opening of the dryer so it helps some to be able to point in a specific direction.

I blow dry Jemma after her bath. I find the coat is so soft too!

No we don't blow dry . . . Stewie does not like it . . . but he likes to run full speed like the tasmanian devil and rub on every type of material we have in the house! lol he is a riot!

I blowdry Bailey. I've had Yorkies before that have hated it, so when I first got Bailey I made sure that when I was drying my hair I made it a game with him. I would try to make the blowdryer as fun as possible. I would put it on him a little and then throw his baby etc. Now after his bath he's used to the blowdryer. Hope this helps...

AprilLynn · 03-25-2009, 08:07 PM

I have given in and not done it the 2 times I have tried because it scares her alot but I want to eventually get her used to it.

Amanda7 · 03-25-2009, 08:20 PM

I blow dry both of mine, and they are used to it now. In hot weather, I towel dry them and let them air dry.

CouversMom · 03-25-2009, 08:53 PM

I blow dry Couver... I sit on the floor with him and he hides his head in my arms, and I mostly just get his belly and back so he doesn't freeze afterwards

He doesn't really like it, but I think he's getting used to it!

I do the exact same thing with Prince. He also hates the noise from the blow dryer and is also not a fan of his robe.

I always blowdry mine .

CarlyBaby · 03-26-2009, 07:38 AM

I blowdry Beatrice almost everytime,however I have left her dry naturally when it's warmer.
I use the blowdryer on the lowest setting,warm not hot and low air flow.
She doesn't mind it ,expect on her head which she tolerates,but doesn't really enjoy.

I always blow dry Harley and brush at the same time. One thing that helps is to put cotton balls in their ears when you dry them.
