How can I teach my puppy to stay calm while getting blow dried?

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

My bichon frise puppy is only three months old, but I want her to get used to be groomed because this breed requires a lot of it. She’s okay during bath time, but barks like crazy and freaks out when I blow dry her. I have the dryer on the lowest setting, and it’s on cool, so I know she’s not in pain or anything. Am I just not being patient? Or is there a correct training technique that I can try so she will learn to realize that being groomed isn’t the end of the world. HELP!
