When finished rinsing, let your dog shake itself a few times. Step out of the shower or bath and grab the large bath towel. Hold the bath towel in front of your dog because he will want to shake at least one more time and will then plop onto the floor to roll on the towels. Cover him completely with towels and grab the blow dryer. Rub vigorously and then let him continue shaking.
Wet dogs have a curious and very distinctive smell.
Apparently, the oil in the dog's coat reacts to the water and the pungent aroma results. We're not sure of the cause but recommend a well-ventilated drying area. A dry hand towel in conjunction with the blow dryer will make fast work of your wet dog. Use the towel in stead of a brush because it will pick up water faster. Once your dog is dry, a good brushing is a nice reward.
