My dog does not like being groomed, how can I get him to enjoy this?

If your dog likes treats then have lots of them to hand, start small and work your way up, a minute at a time and every time your dog accepts you brushing him, give him one of his favourite treats with every stroke of the brush, then every 2 strokes and so on.

 

My dog will not let me touch his feet, how do I get him used to this to have his nails cut?

As before have treats to hand, when you are stroking your dog or having cuddles, purposely start touching his feet, every time you do this give him a treat, he will soon love you playing with his feet.  Dogs do not like being unbalanced so it is best to start off with them laying down, the trick "paw" is a really simple way to start with his front legs.
