I also try to use praise and an occasional treat to make it more enjoyable.
Thanks! I'll buy one of those tomorrow then. The vet gave me the slicker and recommended it which is why I used that one.

I do give her treats every so often while I'm brushing her but it doesn't help.
Today, after the fight, I mean brushing, I held the bag of YY's along with the brush in the same hand and held it all out to her. She wouldn't come near the treats hahaha.
