Most professional groomers use high-velocity air driers (HV Dryer), and I too love to use them for several different reasons. However, for some dogs the pressure, the sound, or a combination of both is just too much for them to handle. Particularly if they are already stressed. For the dogs that prefer the hand held blow dryers, it can be challenging to get to certain areas - especially without the use of both hands. If you've ever experienced difficulty drying your dog for these reasons, this video may help. I call this method The Violin Technique because it reminds me of when I used to play the violin as a child. You just tuck the blow dryer under your chin and hold it there like you would if you were playing a violin. It takes a little getting used to, especially if you've never played the violin. But with a little practice you'll eventually get it, and it'll feel natural. Remember, "Practice makes improvements, not perfect. There's no such thing as perfect. Practice makes improvements."
