Phoebe did the same thing as a baby... she'd never seen a brush at 12 weeks! She did the biting and fighting. We just kept at it, were firm and said "no" when she would start biting, and would praise her greatly when she would lay still. We did treats alittle bit, but praise worked well. When we started trimming toes, it was another battle. We got the treats out, and would treat her every time she'd let me get one done. She is great about grooming now, except for occasionally pulling her foot away from the nail clippers. She's 16 months now.
Just be persistent, it's worth it in the long run!
