If this is OC, try using "rewards" to get him used to brushing! Taking a few pieces of kibble and giving him one at a time while brushing and one immediately afterward will help him tolerate it. I've known a few dogs with contact sensitivity where brushing isn't their favorite thing, but is happy to let me gently get all that excess hair off in exchange for some treats!
