How old is your dog? This takes time. Rosie hated being brushed too. I used to put her in the corner of the room. She would scream like it was the end of the world when I tried to brush her. Then she would find her way out and run away. Then my sister would help me corner her and Rosie still found her way out. I thought she would never get used to it, but now she almost falls asleep when I brush her because she loves it so much. We gave her treats for good behavior. At first we gave her a treat for every other stroke that she would not scream. Then we would give her a treat every 4 strokes. We kept doing that until she was fine with it. Also, we brushed her every day until she was used to it.
