I do not have that problem either. I also brushed mine from day 1 and now they just sit there and let me brush them. Sometimes they fight because they want to get brushed first...lol

I'm not sure if this will work for you but it did for me. When I first got them they would not let me brush them so I started to praise them as I was brushing them and giving them small amounts of treats. They finally stopped trying to bite the brush and stood still for me. I don't even need to give them anymore treats while brushing...they wait until they are done and run to the kitchen because they know they will get one. They even got used to getting their teeth brushed. It's so funny how they sit there and let me brush their teeth...lol

Now they let me cut their nails and trim their hair if needed.

It takes time...just be consistant and try to do it everyday.
