I watched on the dog whisperer that maybe you should put the toothbrush in front of him and then give him a massage. Then he can start associating the toothbrush with a massage. Then when you do brush his teeth have someone else give him a massage. Then eventually he knows that every time he gets his teeth brushed that he will get a massage.

Why bother. Dogs have survived for many years without ever seeing a toothbrush or "doggy" toothpaste.
I'm convinced this is just another gimmick to make you buy more "stuff", and if your dog has a proper diet, with fresh meat, vegetables, bones - I also occasionally give my dog free range raw chicken halves, complete with bones and a few feathers still attached - , and occasionally a top quality dry food, like science diet, you shouldn't have any trouble with his teeth or gums.

If you go to your local vet, they usually have finger brushes. They are smally rubber brushes you can put over your index finger and they are less threatning to a dog. They also sell cheese and beefy flavored toothpaste that he might enjoy more.

Try giving your dog a healthy treat called Greenies, its a bone on one end and a toothebrush on the other . Completely edible and it cleans their teeth for you. My dog loves it.
