Plumcrazy would be a good one to answer because she is doing all of Lucy's grooming at the moment.
I think if a puppy has a good first couple of experiences while still with the breeder, that will show when they are in their new homes being groomed by the owner or groomer. I don't think any Poodle enjoys being dryed, so the limp tail, etc. isn't an issue. It is more a matter of tolerating it and not trying to lunge off the table when the dryer goes on. So as long as Fly copes okay and is not trying to climb up your chest or trying to dive off the table, THAT is completely normal.
