On rainy mornings, they go out fairly reluctantly, but they go because they gotta go! I lay down a towel for them to walk across when they come in and get wiped down. Riley (GSD) has coarse fur that dries off pretty quickly. Ranger (beagle-mix) has fine and dense fur that holds a lot of water. Ranger loves his towel rub-downs though, and will sit and wait for me to finish drying Riley first.
