Whenever I try to get somebody to follow me in Skyrim they something in the lives with "You already have a follower.". The problem is, I don't.
I have not, to my recollection, had a follower at any given point in the game.
The only thing I can think of is that I have (spoiler)
finished Anriel's Endeavors and gotten him as a summon creature.
Or do I have a hidden follower that I can't remember. A dog or a horse perhaps?
Note that I do not have a dog or horse following me now. I talked to dog once, and had a horse that died.
Is this a common/known issue? Is there a work around?
Any tips?

Are you on the Companions quest chain by chance? Possibly the quest Proving Honor? Starting this quest (and I think several other Companions quests) sets Farkas (in this case) as your Follower. If thats the case, he's waiting for you at Dustman's Cairn and you won't be able to dismiss him until you complete the quest.
