  I know what you mean. My baby does good with bathe time but brushing him is a disaster.  I have since we had him shaved which broke my heart, I take it one step at a time.  I give him treats, do it in the same place, and the same time.  I also have him go to the groomers.  I can't help you with a groomer I'm from Maine but I'm sure someone will.  I am making small progress with the brushing and believe me when they get matted there is no turning back. 
 Advice I have gotten so far:
 
 Brush them before you wet the hair or it will matt more.
 
 Don't brush hair dry put some leave in conditioner first.
 
 I would start with small steps.  First just dip feet in and praise and reward, next day a little more and a little more.  Maybe just before bed or something.  I brush my dog the same time everynight and slow we are making progress.  I love your name that is cool.
 Keep me posted
