Lillie is 6 1/2 months old and she doesn't like to be brushed either...Lillie has a thick soft coat that matts too...The last time I gave her a bath I used a little more conditioner than usual and really massaged it in the matts..then I used a comb and pin brush to go through her coat...it was much easier to comb/brush her while she was wet and conditioned....and...she couldn't get away from me because she was in the sink...I wouldn't recommend hitting him with the brush or being harsh while you are trying to brush him...I would just keep telling him he is a good boy...work on him as long as you can and give him a treat...if you don't get all the matts out you can work on them at his next bath..
