Ah, dogs. I volunteer at an animal shelter and it is amazing how many dogs stall out. They will either only walk twenty feet at a time, or only walk BACK to the shelter, or, even more fun, refuse to return. Last week, I carried a forty pound dog half a mile back to the shelter. Little stinker.
My boy stalls out sometimes, but for me it's helpful because I can tell when he needs to pee. If he holds back at the door, I go back inside. That's only when he's tired though. Normally he loves being out.
Cesar actually did do a show on this. His solution was to drive the dog maybe 1/4 of a mile away, and then when he let her out she couldn't wait to get back to the house. Eventually she learned to walk AWAY from the house, not just towards it. Maybe you could try this for a while?
