Come join us on an educational discussion about the types of dryers that are available to groomers, how to use them, how to keep them maintained and in good working order, and then we are going to finish with a FIELD TEST. We're doing a little experiment to show you how these guys blow...and how hard! Thanks for watching and hope this helps!

I barely comment on videos on TH-cam but this one I gotta say it’s helpful and yeah I appreciate the fact that there isn’t a lot of unnecessary yapping so this one gets an a plus on my books
Thank u! 😊

Top level kind comment right here! 😍 Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙏
Best video I’ve found on pet dryers THANK YOU
Thank you so much for your kind comment! And so glad it helped! 🙏😊
Yet another EXCELLENT, informative and VERY well done video Gina!! Your method of explanation is always so perfect and I LOVE the fabric idea! 😂Super helpful for showing the differences in each dryer. Again, I really appreciate all you put into your explanatory descriptions and videos!
@mjackson1001, thank you so much for your amazingly kind feedback! ❤️. Lol, and I'm glad u liked the fabric test! Thank u for validating that it worked! 🙏
Wow this was everything I wanted in this video. Thank you
Thank you for your amazing feedback! 🙏💕
Very informative video for those of us who are new to blowers! It helped a lot so thank you! :-)
Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙏🐾
Your video is super helpful! Thanks so much for detailed explanations and demos. It helps a lot as I’m shopping for a home use dryer on our double coat corgi.
HI Phi! Oh, I love Corgis! But yes, their double coat is challenging and definitely needs a brush and blow out on the regular! Glad the video helped!
I just found your channel. This is a very helpful video!
Thank you so much, Brenda! Glad you found us! Appreciate your kind words... 🙏😍
Thank you for so much information on these two high end driers. I going with Flying Pig for my two huskies because of the under 15 amps draw and that you can turn off the heat while still managing the air speed. Thanks for the demo of how the tips makes so much difference as I wanting to defluff my huskies.
Hi Keith, so glad the video was helpful! I use my Flying Pig(s) on the daily and love the performance and sturdiness. You made a great choice - Happy Grooming and thanks 4 watching! 😊
I was hoping that you would show how to attach the hard hose to the stand dryer.
Hi Tracy, thanks for the input! It's hard to address each specific detail (there are so many, as you can imagine!), but fortunately, your question 1) gives me inspiration to do a Flying Pig video with demo, and 2) is fortunately easy to answer in writing as well. On the side of the stand-dryer hose that attaches to the dryer, you will find a circular piece of plastic that is independent of the actual nozzle (about an index finger from the connection point.) This is your locking mechanism. You can set this at "lock", meaning it won't move, and then attach it to the tank of the dryer, or you can leave it loose, attach it, and then lock it in. Easy peasy! Hope this helps and thanks for your interest!
Can you do a video on how to train a dog to not be afraid of diffrent grooming situations? Like noise of the vacum for exampel. When I se people train there is allways two people but I dont have a helper.
Hi, absolutely! I work alone and with a lot of timid dogs, so the situation happens often. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll make sure to film and release something soon! Thanks for watching! 😊
Hi @iknowyouwanttofly! We released a video on introducing loud dryer sounds to timid pets in grooming - and we gave you a shout out! th-cam.com/video/3eCexLo-tV4/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, and thanks for the suggestion! 👍😊
I have that dryer and it keeps shutting off after 5 mins of use. I took it apart and cleaned the filter.
Thanks for this! I found this video really helpful. I'm looking for a force dryer on a budget. Have you had any experience with either shernbao or shelandy dryers, and do you recommend one over the other? I'd love a flying pig dryer but can't afford it for at home grooming.
Hi Vicky, yay, glad to help! You've already done a great job weeding out the "noise" of so many dryers that are now on the market, and Shernbao and Shelandy are both legitimate and good choices. I've played with the Shernbao equipment at grooming tradeshows, and their stuff feels very well made with a lot of attention to detail. I haven't played with any Shelandy equipment, but the buzz in the industry is a positive one. I checked the stats on both of the "more affordable" versions from either company, and I think you can't go wrong with either one for home grooming. Good luck and please feel free to circle back with feedback so that I can share with the next person who asks! Thanks so much for joining the channel! 🙏💖
I have a Shih Poo and I’m in desperate search of the best dryer. I was hoping you’d demonstrate with various types of pet dryers 😕, but even so, do you know anything about the hand-held pet dryers? And what are your thoughts on them?? I’ve only seen them online and I’d hate to buy one only to return it 🤷🏽♀️. So do you know if they are just as good as stand dryers with the benefit of having a built-in brush? Or are they basically like the human hand held dryer you showed??
Hi @ShantWhite! Thanks for joining! I am not quite sure about the dryers+brush combo (have not used it), but I will say that there seem to be a lot of new grooming products popping up, some work as promised, most do not (imho). I stick to the tried and true professional brands and systems - which, in your case, would be to work with your Shih Poo with a hose dryer, stand dryer, and brush+comb. It's a process, for sure, but it sounds like you've got the right interest to do it. Hope that may help, thanks 4 watching! 🙏!
@@GinasGrooming Absolutely this helps Gina!😃…Thanks for such a swift reply!!🥰
Awesome video! I have a malamute pup and really need a hard blowing, affordable dryer. Do you have any suggestions? We cannot afford a K9 and the flying pig is kind of expensive but if its worth it and none come close we would do it. Please any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Hi, great question! I put some bargain dryers to the test when my K9-II died over my last holiday season (no judgment, she was over 13), and I killed them, quite literally. I couldn't quite afford another K-9, so I bought another Flying Pig. 2 weeks with 2 Pigs, and I am thrilled. For the cost of the Flying Pig, you really can't do better - and you'll need that for that amazing Arctic coat. Hope that helps! 🙏
I got a blower today, and I’m gonna be introducing it to my 21 month old. Think low setting plus flat nozzle would be a good place to start? I already tried that for 30 seconds with some treats, and he was ok with that. I want to work very slowly to get him used to it and not spook him.
He was exposed to a borrowed blower between 8-16 weeks a couple times, and he’s generally pretty brave.
Hi there, I think your strategy is perfect! Introducing him bit by bit will definitely make him comfortable - and he may actually enjoy getting fluff dried! Good luck and Happy Grooming! 😍🐾
@@GinasGrooming thank you :)
@@GinasGrooming I have been told that I should never use the blower on him while he's dry (not washed), but I also know a lot of people use theirs dry as well to help deshed, so bit unsure. (And it wasn't just because of my health, it had to do with "blowing dirt, bacteria and allergens into his skin".) Would you agree with this?
He's a japanese spitz.
Obviously if this is true, I can't practice without washing him. (And I don't want to wash him if I'm not sure I can dry him fully.)
That said, before I was told this, I tried it a bit more on half speed (which started to get very loud! Ordered a happy hoddie, which I'm convinced he'll refuse wearing), and my dog just wanted his snacks, and didn't mind the windy conditions or the noise. (I'm very proud of him.) I was more bothered by the noise than he seemed to be.
Shernbao tsunami blower is what I have. So not all that powerful.
@@mirawenya Thanks for your question! Groomers all over the world use high velocity dryers to deshed dogs with double-coats before the bath, on dry coat. The dirt and allergens (and a ton of undercoat) are blown out of the coat, not into it. Of course, you want to keep moving the dryer nozzle constantly and not blow directly into the coat in one place, but from my experience, unless there is an overlying health condition that I have not experienced, blowing dry coat is a tried-and-true technique that does not have any history of causing anything negative - only positive in getting dead coat and dirt off the pet. Here's a funny video of me doing exactly this on Stevie the Akita: th-cam.com/video/TqHT7M314Gc/w-d-xo.html
It sounds like your pet is going to do great with a blower, especially having such a caring owner such as yourself! Thank you so much for your comments and questions! 😍
@@GinasGrooming Thank you so much for taking time to reply! And for the kind words! Really appreciate it. I’m a first time owner, so it’s really nice to get some help from people that know their stuff. :)
He doesn’t have any health issues to my knowledge. So I’ll keep practicing here and there.
I’ll give the video a watch too :)
Thanks you for this video!
I am researching dryers to groom my own female Samoyed at home. For this breed, do you find the Flying Pig to be suitable enough or is the K9-ii better?
Hi Dylan, great question! The K9's are considerably more powerful than the Flying Pig models, but I can assure you that the Flying Pig has ample power for a Samoyed, as long as you use the reducing nozzle. Now if $$ is no object, the K9-II or III will cut your drying time and really help blow out dead coat better, but I personally now only use two Flying Pigs in my salon (my K9-II finally broke after 13 years) and I groom all sorts of hairy beasts. Hope that helps, and thanks for your comment! 😊
Thank you much! This has definitely answered my question and now I feel far more comfortable buying the flying pig model!
Which Fly Pig dryer is yours. They have quite a few. Thanks for your time.
Hi Jolene! I use the Flying One model: amzn.to/48br5HJ, but Amazon doesn't seem to carry my exact package with the stand dryer arm and rolling base anymore. But that may not be necessary for you! The dryer itself is solid and works great - I've used mine nearly every day for 2.5 years, no problem whatsoever. Thanks for watching and for your comment! 😍
Thank you for the information. The Flying Pig company still carries the stand and is sold separately or together. Appreciate your time.
@@jolenepol3467 Great to know, thank you!
Where can i buy hose and attachments for an HooHcc dryer??
Hi Jorge! I am not able to find any dryer with that name!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much! 🥰
