CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Well Cinco has been sheding alot lately and so has dahlila and I was going to take the vac to them cuz I read on here it's safe to do that but my problem is how do use a vac with 2 dogs that are afraid of the hair dryer!? :o Quote
courtnek Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 people have told me that a dustbuster with a brush attachment works better than a big vacuum...makes less noise. I guess I would start by running the vacuum while they're in the room, without touching them, and letting them get used to the noise first. dont put it near them, or touch them, just let them hear it. then once used to that, taked the brush part and brush them with it, without the vacuum going, just so they get used to that. then arm yourself with treats, and try to vacuum one. give them a treat every few minutes while you're working, but if they freak out stop and try again later. this may take some time...

The problem is that we don't have a dustbuster. Are they cheap? Cuz my parents would be buying and I don't want them to spend alot of money (over $35.00) on it.(I don't have much money left from allowance and they money i do have si going toward something I've been saving up for) Quote
courtnek Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 they're not terribly expensice...cheaper than a vaccum... Quote
CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 this may sound dumb but are they availible at a store like walmart? Quote
