[NAGDU] Dog Brushes

[Melissa Allman]

I start with a zoom groom which I find loosens the hair and then I use a pin brush and if I'm really ambitious, a soft finishing brush.

Hi all,

My dog is lovely, but he's kind of a baby about a few things.  He doesn't like to be brushed.  I've delayed asking about this for a while and just tried to be as gentle as possible with the furminator.
No deal...  He still doesn't like it, and so neither of us enjoys grooming time.  Is there a softer brush I can use with him?  Or is this just a lost situation?  It's possible he won't like being brushed no matter what, but I thought I would reach out just in case someone else has dealt with this.  Thanks.
