Re: was aggression my fault?
Picking up gives a sense of dominance. OR vunerability. Your dog was probably saying "Back off" because he felt either of these. However if on ground level, the dog is seen as being friendly and will be fine.
I wouldn't say it was your fault, as it wasn't much of a huge deal. But perhaps made it worse by picking him up.
Only ever pick up when dog is being attacked.
