[NAGDU] Dog Brushes

Julie:

You could try a soft slicker.  They have softer bristles than the usual 
standard slicker.  I did that with all my golden retrievers and they 
tolorated it much better.  Offering him treats as a reward for allowing you 
to brush him might help him learn that grooming is not so horrible.

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.
