I would suggest using a good quality metal comb. Try to find a small one (4" or so) since you're dealing with a puppy. Also, a metal flea comb helps to keep the puppy down pulled out as the adult coat comes in. You can try diluting any conditioner to help. I don't personally use it when combing but when I bathe mine I dilute the conditioner down to about a 10 to 1 ratio and work it in well and don't rinse it out.
