Default Scared of towels?

Hi, Zoe, my 7 mo. old gets all freaked out when I try to wipe her with a towel, she growls and snaps, almost to the point of biting. This is after a bath or even when I try to dry her paws when we come in from a walk after it's been rainy and her paws are muddy. She lets me play with, kiss, and brush her paws but get a towel or bath wipe or napkin near her and LOOK OUT! What can I do to get her over this? Thanks.

Zoe seems to have something against towels. Try desensitizing her. Place the towel a few inches away from her then closer and closer each day. Reward her everytime she moves closer.

We have towels all over the house, on the arm of my chair, I fold towels in front of her, it's just don't bring it near her. I clean with paper towels also but when try to wipe her feet with it, look out!
