Dog wants me to come with him outside (self.dogs)

Sometimes when I try to let my dog outside to go to the bathroom he won't go outside. He'll just sit there staring at me. But If I go outside with him he will go outside and go to the bathroom with no issue. Sometimes I'll just pick him up and set him outside when I know he needs to go but he'll just just at the door barking to be let back in. I don't want to have to go outside with him everytime. He's an 8 month old puppy. Anyone have any tricks for this?

If I do go out with him for about a min and he runs off I can then go inside and he wouldn't care. So it's not like he's by my side the entire time. Just odd.
