Expert Answer
Dogs dislike brushing because their skin is sensitive; improper brushing can hurt it and cause discomfort or pain, so they resist. Before brushing, gently stroke the skin by hand; if the dog shows discomfort, avoid brushing.
Also choose a suitable brush and learn proper technique to avoid unnecessary harm. During brushing, use rewards and encouragement to get the dog to cooperate.
