I've noticed something about Dexter. When he meets a new person, he happily steps up onto them. However, when I take him back from the new person, he doesn't want to step up. I usually have to pick him up to get him back. I know it isn't recommended to do this, but I cannot get him off that person otherwise. Any other time, I never pick him up like that, and he rarely refuses to step up when we're alone. I don't want to continue to do this (as I've been told it can make him loose trust in me), but it is impossible, especially when the person holding him doesn't want to wait 20 minutes while I try to get him off. He doesn't like treats too much.
Is there a solution I'm not seeing?
Why does he do this? Does he not like me or what?
