When you pick up a dog its removing there choice of running away if it frightens them if you see it from his view all of a sudden he is wisked up to a height that may be scary to him , some just dont like it , as an alternative to picking him up get him used to sitting at the back door before you let him in and have his paws cleaned , close any doors that might mean he can run through open the back door slowly and with treat in hand tell him to sit, i use some old towles they are always by my back door for muddy feet , then genty clean his paws then give him the treat . you could always have another treat prepared to walk him calmly to wherever you want him to be then again reward him . As dogs grow up they will tend to change thier minds as to what once they liked or let you do and what they prefer as adults . but ultimately your in charge and he needs to know that .
