Sorry, I just read your 1st thread... I need to think on this overnight but maybe accept him as he is and be his friend, stop the battle of wills... if what he's doing isn't harmful to you or himself, let it be for now. A vet check wouldn't hurt. (Anal gland check, will make dogs hide and act weird) Is there a need to pick him up? I would just call him to me if I was going to grab something from the kitchen or to sit and watch TV. If he comes fine, reward him, if he doesn't, no big deal. Try using the phrase 'What a Good Boy!' when he does good things.
