It is hard to imagine that rubbing your dog vigorously with shampoo and then again to dry it with a towel would cause your dog pain, but it does.

Rubbing a short-haired dog extensively actually jams the hairs and they go under the skin like splinters (and people know what splinters of wood in their body feel like). This can cause mild to serious infections and basically the first time your dog experiences this pain, bath time will be the last thing your dog wants.

Speak to a groomer for tips on how to avoid hurting your dog with shampooing and possibly forgo the towel drying.
