Start off by giving your pup a treat. You should have lots of treats on hand for your dog who hates being brushed. Giving him a treat now before brushing will reward him just for tolerating being there and show him how he can earn more treats. Have your dog sniff his brush and then give him another treat.

Feed your dog, pet him while feeding, and stroke him with the brush a few times while eating.
