Another thing I would do is make that brush/comb part of his everyday life. Keep it by his bowl, put it by the door before he does outside, put it by his bed and eventually even in one end for a short time. You can smear some canned dogfood or peanut butter on the back of the brush or comb and let the dog lick it off. Let him live with it in the floor with his toys. Use it when he is outside, on walks - stop and brush a time or two and go on walking, brush when in the car and any other activities he likes. Just a swipe or two of brushing all day long as he goes about his life with soon accommodate his sensibilities to the act of being brushed. It is amazing how fast a dog can come to accept something they don't like when they are exposed to it in very, very short bursts all during the day.
