I don't think you can because when Mickey was a puppy, he loved to crawl into our laps and just fall asleep. My dad thought if we allowed him to do that, he'd become spoiled thinking he'd be allowed to do whatever he wanted. So we didn't let Mickey come into our laps anymore unless we put him there.
He's always barking up at me for me to hold him. lol
my mom said, he's going to end up being a spoiled little dog.
Exactly that.

He grew up being the same sweet dog but not as affectionate. I so regret doing that.

So honestly, I don't think holding your dog can really affect him in that way.
