Brandi does the same thing. She usually does it for one of two reasons. She is not feeling well or she doesn't want to go home. I can tell when she isn't feeling well because she will stop walking when we are leaving the house. When that happens, I just pick her up and take her back home. She was diagnosed with liver shunts and LP and even though she is doing quite well, I don't push her when she stops.
Now there are times when going home, and if Brandi want's to stay out longer she will come to a screening halt. She does this in front of my neighbhors and just start laughing at me.
I know the difference between the two because when she isn't feeling well, she will still walk when you say let's go......but when she isnt ready to go home, she will come to a halt and no amount of coaxing will budge her unless I start walking in the opposite direction away from my house, then she is like a little puppy dog
