I have tried letting her lick some nutracal while i brush her, i have tried treats, i have tried brushing her after she is all worn out from playing, but she still fights it.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to make her accept the daily brushes more? Also, do you think I should try a different brush? I am not brushing her hard but the slicker brush doesn't look all the comfortable to me.

Thanks very much for your help in advance!

Have a great day!
Get a pin brush the slicker brush is more for working matts out and they can be uncomfortable. I use a metal comb more than a brush though but its good to have a brush also. When your ready to invest in really good combs and brushes getting the Chris Christensen ones are the way to go. For now I would just go to Petsmart and get a pin brush and a metal comb. Good luck
