Hi and Welcome! I also have a GCC. She is not afraid of fingers but my Quaker did not understand "Step Up " when I got him and was always nibbling on my fingers to make sure they were sturdy enough to hold him. I solved this by making a fist with the thumb tucked in, so he couldn't bite it. Then I offered him the fist to step up. If he sat there and thought about it, I sneaked my other hand behind him and gave him a little boost under the tail (ok, ok, I goosed him) but he jumped right up on my hand. Now he understands "Step up" and its not a problem anymore.
