I might check out PetsMart as well if all you're wanting is a bath & blow dry. I was a bather at one for a while and I didn't cage dry a dog unless I absolutely had to, but I always gave it a good effort with the force dryer first. Some dogs are just major idiots for the force dryer. Granted, by no means are all PetsMart bathers or groomers always the best as far as a quality groom goes, but there are some good ones out there. Other than that, when I was little and my mom had to take Echo (one of our Rottweilers) to a groomer for a bath/brush/blow dry, she found a great groomer simply through word of mouth and going in and talking to a few places before finding the right one.
