Chloe used to hate it. It was a fight and my book said: If they disagree, don't give up because then they think to do that all the time. So I sit with one of her Pedegree Training treats (which is why I love these soft things) cut into 8 pieces. I comb the bottom first with a real persons tangle comb, starting at the roots and working my way up. Only 8 minutes top to start. The following week I would increase the amount of time and so on. Each time she got fussy, I put the little pea sized treat to her lips and let her have that tiny taste. Within a month she was jumping up to get brushed. Now they stand in line for it, well.... I think they stand in line for that treat not the brushing but it works for us
