How to brush your dog without tickling it
Accept your dog's natural scratch reflex.
Any time you touch a dog's sensitive areas, it creates a ticklish/itching sensation for the dog. This causes a reflexive response in which a dog will kick one or both of its hind legs.
Your dog cannot control this reaction, much like how you cannot control the way your leg kicks when a doctor strikes your knee. You cannot train or punish this reaction out of your dog; you simply have to accept it and work around it when brushing.
