Forget brushing for now, there seem to be a problem,
Start again, get the brush out, let the dog sniff it etc, but don't brush the dog,
Change the brush then again do the above, but make it a fun game,
gradually attempt to brush your dog but don't expect miricles on the first atempt, priase your dog in the most rediculous tone you have every used when the dog allows the brush to touch his coat.
You have to make it fun not a chore!!!!
