My take may be a little different. Has he had a regular checkup? If this is new behavior that he hasn't exhibited before or until recently it may be a sign something else is actually going on with him. Is it possible he is in pain somewhere and it doesn't hurt until you pick him up making him apprehensive to being picked up? It's like he wants to make you happy by coming to you, but something hurts when you pick him up. Even while walking, IMO, stopping in the middle of a walk not wanting to go is a sign something is going on. That is unless he's in the middle of training, or this has been a behavior from the start. Dogs are great at masking their pain. I'd look to get him checked out.
