dog try to bit me when I try to dry her after her shower?

Why does my dog try to bit me when I try to dry her after her shower?

Answer #1

Does the dryer get to hot on her skin? Or do you use the cool level. It may be sound of fear. You will have to determn what it may be and try to use postive reinforcement with her.

Answer #2

Dogs are usually pretty darn playful after a bath…so is she trying to BITE you…growling etc?? Or is she play biting?? BIG difference.

PS…I’d skip the shower business…water in her ears can cause infection…and that equals a trip to the Vet…stick to baths.

Answer #3

when you say dry her do you mean with a hair dryer (which most animals dont like) or a towel?

I’d say just let her go… she’ll run around and dry herself off…

Answer #4

I hope you’re careful not to get water in your dog’s ears when you give her a shower…they hate that. as for drying her… just let her shake it all off. give her a space heater to sit by so she doesn’t get too cold. she’ll be fine :)

Answer #5

Answer #6
