Welcome to YT!

Don't get discouraged, sometimes it takes awhile to get them used to grooming. Try short grooming sessions initially, talk to him while you're grooming in re-assuring or fun tones. IDK what type of brush you're using, but a metal pin brush (several good varieties) is best, also I like a good teflon coated type comb. Groom him daily and brush/comb even several times a day (again short sessions). It shouldn't take long for him to get used to the routine. He may never love it, but he will tolerate grooming,

With the biting, I would stop, say "No" and continue brushing (gently!) a few strokes more before stopping the session.

This has worked for me with all of ours.
