Its because most times whenever they are doing something bad they get picked up and removed from this situation by their owner. An owner who also probably picks them up to praise them and someone they like getting held by.
So now everytime the dog does something bad they get picked up which to them is praise.
And thats why so many little dogs are horribly trained.
I think it’s also because you don’t really need to train the dog to behave on its own when you can just physically overpower it if ever misbehaves. Nothing against small dogs (love them), but you need to stop yourself from just forcing them into whatever you want them to do, it they’ll never “get it” and never feel like a member of the pack/family.
You wanna know why its so common with small dogs?

also some of them don’t like being picked up, so picking up for praise is annoying to them
