Tangle Free is the Way to Be

So the picture is of my dog Jack and a dog brush, so I guess it counts as two things. Today, I decided to comb my dogs hair. Considering he recently was shaved, he really only has hair on his head, ears, and tail. Jack is a Goldendoodle that has hair on the curlier side. He is not too fond of being combed which was not such a good thing for me today because he had a few tangles on each of his ears. Its always a constant battle each time I comb his hair. The brush doesn't even have to touch his head to give me an Elvis-like snarl, warning me not to move the brush closer to his head. He isn't an aggressive dog, he has never once bitten me, it's all a show. After having brushed for about 20 minutes I gave him a break. The next time I tried brushing him, I showed him the brush and he went running throughout the house trying to find someone to protect him. It was like a comedy routine, each time I get near he slips from my grasp. I continued doing this throughout the day. Each time giving him longer breaks in between brushings to prevent the snarling or running. I do this until Jack was tangle free. I know Jack is grateful I stopped chasing him around the house with a brush, as well as having no more tangles.
