Anybody got any tips or advice on drying coats? I need one for my young girl.
Cheers!

Dog or human?????  Putting it on the radiator wouldn't be particularly appropriate for a dog :)

No for dogs obviously...!!!

Ditto.  Cocker spaniel down the road from me has one from there too I think.

Thanks! Just received it and tried it on my older boy first. I couldn't stop laughing , he looked so "gay", kind of like that character in Little Britain! -I don't mean to offend anybody by the way!
I've not properly tried it for drying my dogs yet, but I'm a bit worried about them damaging it rolling around on the floor as they usually do when they're wet. I'll try it next week before the show... I bet it'll be fun!

I use four of the coats most weekends and my best tips would be:
Dry your dog until almost dry , just the slightest dampness left, then spray an anti-static product over the dogs coat -  then roll on the drycoat making sure that everything is in place underneath :-)
Blast the dog with dryer to heat up the hair then put the dog to bed - a crate ideally or in my case on the sofa with their Daddy covered with a blanket to stop getting chilled. At least 2 hours of rest and supervision (til dry) to save dog from getting it's leg caught up inside the coat is vital. You dont want a pulled muscle or worse.
Good luck :-)
