Getting rid of feathering etc - what to ask for?

[Holly Berry]

What reaction does your Dad have if he visits you but doesn't physically come into contact with Odie? That might establish whether its Odie or his environment. If its just Odie, then hard as it sounds, you will just have to isolate him

Just a thought before you get him cut, before your Dad comes bath him, brushing and combing him in the bath, you'll be suprised how much dead hair comesout. Then when he's dried and brushed again put him in an equafleece like this http://www.equafleece.co.uk/store/T-shirt_Dog_Suits.html that has front and back legs. Hopefully that will stop the hair flying around, and give the same effect as cutting off his feathers  

I was just thinking the same.      sorry this is inappropriate after reading more replies

TBH he's never visited our house without Odie being in the same room.  It'll be hard to isolate Odie for a few hours (he'll bark the place down ) but I suppose I can give it a go.
