How do you brush a dog's hair that won't refuse?

How can I get my dog to let me brush his hair?
Start by petting your dog. Incorporate the brush into petting just one or two strokes at a time. Distract your dog by talking to him, presenting his with a chew toy to gnaw on while you brush him a few strokes. Feed your dog, pet him while feeding, and stroke him with the brush a few times while eating.
How do you brush an unruly dog?
Pay attention to when your dog becomes aggressive while you're brushing him. At first, only brush areas your dog will let you brush, such as his neck or just his back. Build trust with your dog by brushing areas he's comfortable with and then slowly moving to other areas with lots of rewards and empathy.
