Are you using a regular hairdryer? SHELANDY 3.2HP Stepless Adjustable Speed Pet Hair Force Dryer Dog Grooming Blower with Heater https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WLQPJ58/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_GG1ARTJN6QKYH8WR8A85 we got something comparable to this for our Berner and it works amazing!
I got one, and it’s very helpful for avoiding tangles. Disclaimer: my dog is three-quarter standard poodle, one-quarter golden retriever, but has a coat much closer to a standard. Anyway, he’s got a white coat, so shows mud quickly. This dryer makes it easier to bathe him between groomer visits (especially in the cold months). I just dry him about 50-60% dry, and it’s enough to eliminate tangles. I put some peanut butter on one hand, and dry with the other, and he licks off the peanut butter while I dry.
I got this one, and I like it: SHELANDY 3.2HP Stepless... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WLQPJ58?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Even with short-haired dogs you'd be surprised at how much the force dryer blows out. Some of it is just hair that has been loosened by the brush but is still in the coat due to the density of the fur, but then would naturally fall out over the coming days with natural movement and disruption. Human hair dryers just don't have the same motor strength. You can find some affordable force dryers on Amazon, though. Since your pup is small and doesn't take long to dry you don't need anything too heavy-duty. This is a good brand and one of the cheaper options.
Do you have a good dryer? It may depend on the dog but a lhasa/cocker mix sounds like it would have pretty dense hair...you're gonna want to make sure you have a dryer powerful enough to dry through to the skin, and efficient enough to not make the hair all frizzy. Human hair-dryers aren't often strong enough, but you can get pretty decent velocity dryers on amazon. I have this one and it's really good for my Golden, who has very thick fur. It's small enough to work in a bathroom, and it's not even horribly loud.
It's normal this time of year. A bath, good blowout with a velocity dryer (have a groomer do it or buy one online), and a good brushing will help a lot.
i dont haveone and im brand new to having a SPOO but keep seeing references to this one:

I have this one for home use. It's not super high powered but it worked great on my old husky mix and my friends long coated shepherd mix. It has a heating option, multiple nozzles and variable speed.
Gotcha. If you can afford $80, get a velocity dryer - that's what makes the pro grooming worthwhile. The shelandy model is good for home use, pros have better ones but the Shelandy is good enough for one person doing one dog.
If not, look for a self-wash station, they usually have a dryer you can use and charge about $10 for the bath.
Are there restrictions on how big the pool must be?

If, for whatever reason, these other suggestions don't pan out (though I can't imagine how they wouldn't), you could also try a pet store. They sell them for dogs. I think they are probably more expensive.
Also, I might recommend this. Especially if you want to be able to store it easily. https://www.amazon.com/Jasonwell-Foldable-Collapsible-39-5inch-D-11-8inch-H/dp/B01MU0JMNG/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=dog+pool&qid=1623503687&sr=8-5
THere are more sizes than that, so you can get one that holds quite a bit more water.
Take to groomer for bath asked them to use a hand held dryer. They start from the butt forward blowing under the coat this gets rid of tons of hair.
If you'd rather do so at home this is what I'm talking about https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WLQPJ58/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_H6NSS8VHSV0P1AVRXKHZ
Same as everything else they must get used to it. You can even use it without bath first. I do this for a friend's Saint Benard (don't use the heat).
Yes, you want one specifically for dogs--flying pig on amazon is the model I use:
I wouldn't really recommend anything cheaper but I know people get away with shelandy dryers.
You can get decent ones for under $100. It helps to blow the hair out and untangle it. let me find a link to the one i see a lot of people use.

I started young with my Dane. I would put him in the shower once a week and wet him, then reward him for it. He loves baths. All I have to say is “it’s time for a bath.” And he goes to the bathroom and gets in on his own. However, I started when he was about 4 months old.
I’ve seen adds for wall suctions for dogs with bath anxiety, if your dog is older and food motivated maybe you could try easing him into by starting with him just going in to the bath, then adding water, and finally after awhile giving him a full bath.

There are already some good answers here. Just wanted to add a link for a blow dryer I got off Amazon that I use at home for blowing out my husky. It works great for only $80.

A forced air pet hair dryer like this one, for example, could get her loose floors off way better than the hair dryers we use. It's what groomers have, albeit perhaps more cheaply built/less powerful
We have 2 long haired dogs and cats. Forget the Roombas as you need to vacuum with a legit vacuum a few times a week. As others have said, a thin blanket or sheet on the bed for the puppies presence that you can remove at bedtime.
Groom/brush him as often as possible. I use this dryer and between that and brushing them out, man does a bunch of fur get blown out: https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Pig-Grooming-Purple-Dryer/dp/B00JV33WJ8
Like your pup, fur is mans best friend, so embrace it. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Ya, I have asthma and my American Alsatian is trying to kill me. (jk)
Trust me that you wouldn't be using a HV dryer for yourself. The wind speed is typically up to 135mph and isn't necessary for human hair. Dog hair on the other hand requires it since it's so dense. Here's a budget one that I use.
This is why I use an industrial dog hair dryer to clean my PCs.
Definitely no professional haircuts required. The game changer for grooming one of these breeds is a high velocity blow drier. Get a decent one (https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Pig-Grooming-Purple-Dryer/dp/B00JV33WJ8/) or invest in a nice one (https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30E07465-7B6A-11D5-A192-00B0D0204AE5&q=K-9%20II%20Animal%20Grooming%20Hot%20Blower%20and%20Dryer) and it will pay for itself in a year. Blow that dead hair into the yard, or some pet food stores have self-serve baths that include a blow drier.
Also, something that might help you decide is getting to meet some in person and discuss with breeders. If you go to infodog.com, it will show dog shows near you. A week or so before the show, the judging schedule will be posted and you can see how many dogs of that breed will be there, and when. DM me if you need help!
The Flying Pig brand is supposed to be the best, but I have this (cheaper) one and it works great for my two.

sounds like a slicker brush and metal greyhound style comb may work well if hes got longer/thick hair and maybe some line brushing there are some demos on youtube. also consider investing in a pet dryer if you dont have one so you can do regular bath and blowdry at home and remove excess hair hv dryers work really well for loosening/blowing out undercoat Amazon has shelandy
or shernbao shernbao is a bit more expensive, but more power but both have heat and variable speed options
My dog basically likes chicken or beef. No duck, goat, fish, so many things. Does like dried meats (as long as they are chicken or beef parts, like liver). And American cheese (but not string cheese). Odd.
This is a blow dryer I have and like:
My dog will "sit" for this, but at least 1-2 feet away. She does not seem to mind the sound, but does not like the wind that much. It's quite powerful on the lowest setting, and I can't use any of the tips (these just make the wind more powerful).
I have trimmers saved that others have recommended, but I've not tried them to recommend them.
We bought this one in 2019. We have a husky, a German shepherd + 2 cats. I'll say we don't use it frequently - while it does get a great deal of undercoat out, we feel it more or less loosens the hair and he sheds/molts even longer. I'm glad we have it on hand though. It also has a switch to heat the air but we never use that. We use this undercoat rake and use it often.
I have a standard poodle that I take to be groomed every 6-8 weeks, but I bath him and clip his face/feet/sani in between appointments. The handheld shower head is not enough to get through his dense coat to thoroughly wet it down and ensure all the soap and dirt is rinsed out, so I took a chance on this Waterpik sprayer and it's SO much more effective than a human showerhead. Was easy to install, too; we just swap the head of the handheld with it when we need it. Maybe it'll help get some of your boy's undercoat out. I've heard the right shampoo can help with shedding, too.
best bet would probably be if you have a high velocity dryer you can just blow that excess coat out f not could always see about getting one on amazon great for removing excess coat and for a nice finish after a bath the one in link is good price for home grooming and has heat/variable speed [shelandy](https://www.amazon.com/SHELANDY-Stepless-Adjustable-Grooming-Blower/dp/B06WLQPJ58/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3FAOE5PT21LS4&keywords=shelandy+dryer&qid=1656546751&sprefix=shelandy+dryer%2Caps%2C508&sr=8-3) or if you book a grooming appointment they could do a deshed treatment and use the hv to get all the excess hair out
Hi! How exciting that you will have your baby with you soon, CONGRATS!
I'm not a groomer, however, my maltese does wonderful at the groomers and I truly believe this blower helped her so much! She was so used to me doing it at home with her in between grooms, so when she did get groomed, it didnt freak her out. Here's the link.
I've been using this beginner friendly dryer on my pup for almost a year now. Very powerful and affordable(79usd)! Wanted to try something out before committing to something expensive, definitely worth it! Gets my pup dried within less than 1hr! I think it was recommended on some Samoyed grooming blog for beginner friendly tools. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WLQPJ58/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_WFD6VPRPNR03PE97RTKA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
