You need to use attractors and make them dynamic.

An alternative would be to buy Shave and a haircut which has much more intuitive way of working with dynamics and has its' own fur renderer. you can test it out for about two weeks here:

Select surface kill history and go create attrattor dynamic chain and set up a grid of emm. Select the particle nodes it makes in
h graph and ad the field.... suggest u also read the help files on attractor attributes, for controling the effects

fur is evil :( , i got countless problems with it when trying to make long hair for my character.

I'd recommend shave and a haircut also if you need serious hair simulation. Maya tends to crash a lot when you try to simulate collisions with fur.

Fur is not ment to be used for long hair, there is a tutorial on the a|w site showing another method for hair.
