asked a question My dog constantly sits/lays down on walks. She becomes dead weight to pick up and refuses to budge. She only exhibits this behavior when I walk her - when my boyfriend walks her, she's the complete opposite. How can we fix this behavior?

She's a 14 month old Golden Retriever (typically a very active dog!) When she was younger, I would be able to take her for pretty long walks without her stopping. Over the past few months she has started exhibiting this behavior shortly into her walk (so I know it's not because she's tired). She only exhibits this behavior when I walk her. When my boyfriend walks her, she doesn't stop at all. How can we fix this behavior so I'm able to take her for long walks again and get her the exercise she needs?
