I think your problem with that dog is much simpler and more basic than you think. A dog that is not properly imprinted (socialized) will interpret any attempt to hold the dog as an attack (dogs don't have hands so they have to learn to love hands in the imprinting process). He simply doesn't see humans as potential objects of affection. It is possible to bring understanding to the dog but it will take a LOT of time.
