He's only young so is bound to wriggle.
Just have patience, do it regularly & gently with lots of praise.
I never give mine treats for being groomed, just lots of praise & talk to them all the time.

It's easier if you have one particular place they can associate with being groomed. I have a grooming table but anywhere will do. They come to associate being there with being groomed & praised for it.

Don't think you have to get every single knot out at first. It's better to do it little & often so they get used to grooming being a pleasant thing & not something they dread because it hurts.

Don't try to brush a dry coat, spray it with something first. I like Ice on Ice but even a little conditioner mixed with water in a spray bottle will do.
