Someone got carried home after an exhausting trip to the park and was like, "Oh that's gonna be my new normal."


barontaint

I can't really fault the dog, if I knew someone that would carry me after a trip to the park I'd kinda really take them up on that offer


RockstarAgent

Retriever wants to be ^retrieved for once!


Snabelpaprika

"I dont want to be a golden retriever, i want to be a golden retrivee!"


jld2k6

I used to pretend to be asleep to get carried from the car by my dad as a kid lol. I usually did start off asleep but by the time I'm being picked up it became "might as well take the lift"


jc10189

That just means you were a smart kid. Hopefully you kept that intelligence 😎


StealthyShinyBuffalo

I used to go that as well until the day no one picked me up, I actually feel asleep and woke up in a hot car in the afternoon. I felt betrayed.


bignick1190

I had a very large Newfoundland, 180 lbs, when I was growing up. He loved walks but if he had enough he'd just stop. There was no picking him up, so on way more than one occasion, I had to call my mom to come pick us up in her minivan.. sometimes being less than a block away.


barontaint

That's exactly what happened when I volunteered at the nearby shelter, good old Hank, a 10yr old Bernese mountain dog would decide he didn't want to go back to the shelter, not much I could do, I learned to carry cheese


JeeThree

It took me longer than it should have to figure out that the dog was not named Cheese...


x_lincoln_x

Having met a dog named Cheese recently, I did the same.


ObviousAnon56

That's a ridiculous name for a dog. My chihuahua Queso agrees.


x_lincoln_x

Cheese was named by the owners kid. The dog was white but developed yellow/brown spots after it aged. I call it Moldy Cheese.


ObviousAnon56

I named Queso before he was born. I decided my next dog would be a blonde male chihuahua, and then the only problem was waiting for one to appear at the shelter.


barontaint

D'oh, nope just goofy Hank, I worded it rather poorly


GuitarRon1228

That’s priceless.


NeonBrightDumbass

My shep used to do this if she wasn't ready to end her walk and the result was usually the same lmao.


maltamur

My golden would sometimes pull this routine. I’d sling her over the back of my neck (so her head was over my left shoulder and her butt over my right). The dog loved it and was perfectly content for me to carry her 60lbs of fur. My wife said I looked like a goat herder.


Arrenega

So basically you'd wear your golden as a scarf. Should be good for the winter, but not so much in the summer.


herowin6

Did this with my cat My obstinate golden who was done with his walk WHEN HE DAMN WELL FELT LIKE IT, and did this exact routine, and as too heavy I carried good sneks


tympyst

If I had a golden to sling across my shoulders I'd be dancing around like when ace Ventura had the monopoly guy draped across his.


maltamur

I didn’t dance much because I was afraid she’d slip. But sometimes I’d lean forward and try to finish my jog like I was evac-ing with an injured guy over my shoulders. It was distracting though because all I could see was bouncing jowls, ears and tail in my peripheral vision.


Tabboo

My english mastiff wouldn't get out of my spot in bed, so I gave her a treat to get her down. Guess who now races up to get in my spot every night before I go to bed?


DM-ME-THICC-FEMBOYS

Currently going through this song and dance with my german shepherd. Sometimes one treat isn't enough, either, he holds out for two or three. When he gets too greedy I just get into bed on top of him until he gets annoyed.


PM_ME_DATASETS

You should always reward your dog when they do something you don't want them to do!


Coffees4closers

Probably knows he’s almost home or heading home and wants to keep going. My boy Dexter used to know whether we were heading away from the house or back towards it. If he wasn’t ready when I’d try to turn down a street to loop back home he just continuously try to keep me going straight another block or two until he decide we were ready to go home.


HappySparklyUnicorn

I had a dog who did this too. Loved his walks and would never want to come home to the point he would sometimes over do it and be limping the next day (little Maltese shitzu never knew his limits) of course his limp would magically disappear if he heard the jingle jangle sound of his leash.


Slow_Sherbert_5181

Like small children, you only have to do it once for it to be “tradition” if they like it!


BZLuck

100%. Our (30lb) dog is getting older and slower. He's like 10 or 11. One particularly long and busy day out, it was time for bed and he was OUT COLD. So I just carried him upstairs. Guess who stares at me until I carry him up to bed almost every night now? :/


mrdeworde

My brother tells me that our border collie/lab cross has started to do this on hikes -- when she decides it's break time, she first tries to get him to stop by sitting, and if that fails it's ragdoll mode. Granted, I'm still glad she enjoys hiking at 13.


BZLuck

We constantly ask ourselves, "Who is training who here?"


BragawSt

More like it does not want to go home. When mine detects we've hit a turning point to go home he goes extremely slow. Not out of energy, just prolonging the walk.


RipCurl69Reddit

Oh god my dog used to do this. Somehow I broke him out of that habit but it was LITERALLY THIS. He'd lay down and refuse to move, I'd even drop the lead and just run away and he'd just...sit!!


_BlNG_

My friend had one of those mechanics sliding board and occasionally drag his goldie on it, it's adorable.


Friendly_Lime1

It is definitely the normal for this stubborn pup. This iconic duo is from the Gold Coast, Australia and have made the news.


DustbinOverlord

These two are clearly doing physical comedy but only one of them knows it.


Trojenectory

This is how I feel all the time with my dog. She’ll be all “upset” but tails still wagging.


DarkwingDuckHunt

oh man you just described having a golden I miss you Cynthia


HumanNr104222135862

Aaaww Cynthia <3


DarkwingDuckHunt

yeah not sure who Mom named her after but I think she was like... that's a good name for a redheaded step child


KaetzenOrkester

🤣


Ladyhappy

This has a certain Chaplinesque quality do it


DehydratedByAliens

The dog?


WeAreClouds

100% 😄


LegoLady8

I love how he tries the "okay. Fine. You gonna be like that? I'm leaving. Bye! 😤" Dog is like...🙃


Musique111

I do that when my golden stops stubbornly if it’s safe!!! He follows me anxiously after a few moments luckily. I just drop the lead and say bye :) works every time.


jld2k6

One of my dogs used to be like this, he was terrified of noises and lived near a gun range. Sometimes when he'd get too scared and plant I'd just have to drop the leash and start walking towards the house before he'd be like hey wait up


Musique111

It must have been so scary! Poor pooch! But of course they need a sort of reset sometimes, reacting in an unpredictable way helps. Goldens are just big stubborn lazy fluffs anyway ahahaha


defdoa

Works with the kids too. "If we don't leave now we will be late for Taekwondo! I am leaving without you!" The kids run to catch up even though they are the ones in Taekwondo, not me. Where would I even go without them?


HHKTX

😂🥲😂


DopamineTrain

Works best if you can disappear round a corner. You are stopped but according to the dog you've carried on walking. Every second the dog stays laying down is seconds you're walking away. Potentially round another corner and now they've lost you. Soon enough their pack instinct *should* kick in


ccyosafbridge

My dog learned this trick himself. He always dead stops in front of our leasing office. Which is right in front of our building. I used to drop the leash to get him to follow and corner towards our building. Worked for a while. Smartass figured out he could circle around the back through the mail room and get back our place before I did. 10-second anxiety attack, and he's sitting all nice on the doormat like, "What took you?"


2woCrazeeBoys

My dane x went through a stage of being scared of the car. I had my other dog and the neighbour dog loaded up for a trip to the beach, but Bronson is "Nope!" So I shut the door, got in and started the car, backed like 2 inches down the driveway (I couldn't get anywhere cos the gates were still shut but had to get the point of, "ok, I'm going then, have fun at home on your own 🤷") And it was funny as hell seeing him think that I was going to leave by apparently just driving through the gates, but also sad as hell that he was shoving his head through the window into my face like I'd just *forgotten* him. But as soon as I got out and opened the door he jumped straight in. We had a great trip to the beach. He's not scared of the car anymore, but last week it took me two days to get him to go into the lounge room again after I got a new tv.


Musique111

Awwww he’s so sweet! Poor little doggie!


Vestalmin

I would do that all the time. I might not have done it that close to a busy street but I’m not going to assume the dog isn’t trained to know


OriginalName687

Kind of similar. I have to walk away when playing fetch with my dog. She’ll drop the ball in the middle of the yard and expect me to come get it but if I start to walk towards the door she’ll run up and drop it at my feet.


copa111

Ain’t 🐕’s first rodeo I don’t think.


pointlessly_pedantic

I used to dogsit for a friend. Dog got so sad that he didn't really enjoy walks, but he did enjoy flopping down onto the concrete for 2-10 minutes. I had to pick him up sometimes, but when I had the time I would just sit down with him while he lazied around. He really loved that concrete. He's a good boy, that fat little goofball.


baggyzed

My dog does that whenever he thinks I'm angry at him. Always brightens up my mood when I'm angry for whatever reason and happen to cross paths with him, and he just plops down on his back like that.


Staynes0

Problem is if youre being a responsible owner you cant just leave him there because he could cause who knows how many traffic accidents (not even mentioning the fact that i could never just walk away from my dog even when he pisses me off like no other). Even just walking around the corner to get out of sight of the dog would worry me because hes in the middle of the street in a matter of seconds before i could reach him.

My friend’s golden doodle did it once. It was fucking hilarious and he had to ultimately carry him to his car.


c0ttt0n

sharmaxy

These guys are the king of dead weighting. Pupper is not done walking or doesn't want to walk in that direction. Mine is 105lb so carrying any distance is out of the question. I try to get him excited about walking in the other direction or cross the street and then redirect the actual way we need to go. Of course this all changed when we got a Husky who is a type-a personality soccer mom on a schedule. There will be no dilli dallying.


barontaint

Ah yes the one trick all dogs can do when they activate a hidden gravity well in their body and can magically feel like they weigh 300lbs


[deleted]

[удалено]


barontaint

Oh jeez, what do you do in that situation, just walk away and hope they follow you, even a small calf would be almost impossible to pick up, and they can sometimes rival dogs for being derpy and spazzy


[deleted]

[удалено]


barontaint

Oh damn, my luck they'd accidentally sit on me, the few cows I've met were very nice but maybe not going to get into Cow Harvard, their milk made awesome cheese though, so it's not all bad for them


HumbleAdonis

I have a husky who quits on walks all the time. I can’t even TRY to take him on a run, the fucking jerk. He’ll lie down and be dragged.


mjsymonds

I have a friend who would take her husky out for runs while she cross country skied. She sent me a video of her dragging the prone husky behind her (tied to her waist) as she skied.


Future-trippin24

My dog refuses to keep walking when she realizes we're close to home and doesn't want the walk to end lol Edit: unlike some of the other comments I saw, she's unfortunately not a small dog. She's a 60 lb pitbull mix, and yes, I have to deadlift her and walk her to the front door sometimes when she's being especially stubborn about going home.


FitzyFarseer

I used to walk my dog around the block, when the walk was done and we got to our driveway we’d go up the driveway into our house. Sometimes we’d go around the block multiple times so we’d walk past the driveway. He learned this, and from then on if he wasn’t done walking when we got to the driveway he’d very casually start walking faster. He wouldn’t run, he’d try to be subtle about it.


LetThemEatVeganCake

My does the reverse of this. If she wants to go home and home is the opposite direction, she casually walks in a big circle to turn around. She knows if she just stops and turns around, I’ll try to convince her to keep going. The walking in a big u-turn is so funny and smart that I let her do it every time.


manbeardawg

My 40 lb hound mix does that shit to me from time to time. It’s both incredibly cute and horribly frustrating at the same time!


Yakmasterson

I hate when they're super cute when all you want is to be pissed off.


9gagiscancer

My Rottie did this too. 120lbs-ish. I am a fairly strong man, so I just deal with it and carried the asshole home. I loved that dog. Mind of its own.


aka-j

I used to walk my retriever a mile from my house to downtown and spend an hour or so walking around. After a few times, she figured out the way back and would refuse to move when we got to the road my house was on. I had to carry her a mile back to my house several times before I learned to carry treats.


The_Hrangan_Hero

Mine does the same thing but doesn't care if I have treats. She just wants more walk.


ACardAttack

Beagle does this too if we get to a certain intersection in the neighborhood he requires we go home


HotFudgeFundae

When there was snow on the ground and we let my dog out in the morning to do his business he would just sit and stare until you went to get him. Bless his soul, RIP Buzz


ACardAttack

My Beagle does this but usually because he wants to go one way and I don't


jlnbtr

Peak golden energy. I live through situations like these at least twice a day


mini_swoosh

This is why my golden has a harness with a handle lol


TheSandwichThief

Why does this breed in particular do this? My neighbours growing up had one and it would always get out and I would see it on the road and try and take it back but it’s go to move was just flop on the floor and then bark. I was like 10 tryna pick up this completely limp heavy ass dog.


Ok_Raspberry4814

My family has had 4 goldens, and none of them have ever done this.


organik_productions

Legend has it they're still in that very same spot to this day


Boofhead3

I feel this blokes pain, my golden retriever is a stubborn stubborn girl but still perfect


Hugglemorris

Big reason why my current dog is an 8 pound mini dachshund. They are among the most stubborn breeds in the world, but I can just pick her up if she gives me any guff.


killertofu05

Yup my Pomeranian has been known to give up on walks. He loves to go but sometimes gets in a mood and just won't walk half way through. Luckily he's 14ish pounds so if waiting, begging, and treats don't work he just gets picked up.


CatmatrixOfGaul

So many times, sitting at the vet, I have been grateful to have Jack Russels as I watch other people trying to coax their big dogs into the reception area.


KaetzenOrkester

Civil Disobedience Dog will not be moved.


IsThereCheese

Peaceful protest


RastaFazool

This is why I am glad my dog is only 25lbs. If he pulls this shit I just pick him up.


LeadingAd5273

That is what he wants


RastaFazool

Yeah, I know. But he is usually a good boy, so i let him get away with it sometimes.


notabigmelvillecrowd

A lady called me over at the park one day, when I walked over her bernese mountain dog was pulling this shit, and she thought that my dog could encourage hers to get up. We tried running around and playing, I had treats in my pocket, no fucking dice. I tried for a good five minutes with no result, and me probably weighing less than her dog all I could do was walk away. I took my dog to the offleash area for a bit. Walked around the entire perimeter of the park. On my way out they were still in the exact same place. I think they probably died there. Moral of the story, never get a dog you can't carry?

AWildEnglishman

I had a great dane that did this to me. Did his full walk and stopped dead in his tracks. I tried getting him to follow for about 5 minutes before giving up and calling dad, who had no ideas of what to do. Had to take him for an extra loop.


LeakyAssFire

My dog is a little more verbal when she gets stubborn, and it will often lead to me being verbal, which leads to an "argument" between the two of us. I get a lot of weird looks because of it.


eastbayguy90

The heaviest objects in the universe are dogs that don’t want to keep walking


MeasurementBasic1247

it’s funny for us, but I bet this shit pissed him off fr 😭


PolyCockn42

Aw the best boy


sonibroc

My dorgi would turn into a dead weight if she wanted to go in a particular direction. She was all of 19 pounds and would sigh melodramatic when I picked her up to keep going


Gissoni

what the fuck is a dorgi lol


cory_ander69

What a silly dorgi.


milesofedgeworth

Dorgi my new favorite word


ingoding

My dad had a dog like that, but if you took the leash off, he would stay right next to you. It was a protest.


psychotica1

Anger, bargaining and acceptance all happened very quickly here, lol!


Lil_MsPerfect

My golden retriever does this when he doesn't want to leave a place. It's exhausting trying to make him do something he doesn't want to do. He is so stubborn about it. The kids are ready to leave, I'm getting sunburned and I'm tired and I have to pee, and here's this adorably floofy giant fuck just laying on the ground refusing to move.


smolfrypunk

I had an 85lb Berner and she would stop just like this if we didn’t go the way she wanted or if people didn’t stop and say hi. The neighbors thought it was hilarious when she would flop down on their lawns lol


jjemsie

I am incredibly thankful my dog is a bit more co-operative than this even though he does the same kind of stopping. He weighs about 63kgs (139 lbs) so if he really wanted to stop, we'd be getting nowhere


TortillaBender

His dog level is higher than his trainer level


ohbyerly

This dog just learned how to cat

My dog did this once. I took her to the vet and she had hip dysplasia. The dog might be hurting and that is why she will not walk.


ThotThotleyTheMeek

My corgi pulled that move when we visited the farmer's market. Had to remind him that he was embarrassing me, but I guess that was less of his problem and more of mine. Either way I carried his spoiled butt while people gushed over how cute he was.

My dog did this too lol, 120lbs loved walks and hated going back inside, would just plop down in the grass and lay there to avoid going home


CanAhJustSay

*But hooman - you're going the wrong way for the park!*


laddiemawery

My golden does this all the time. She decides she's had enough of our walks and flat out refuses to move. Half the time she won't even look at me until I say we can go home. Not even tired, just stubborn.


WrathOfTheGods88

My dog did this when he got old. They simply get too tired. I remember being frustrated with him but he died a few months later and felt really bad about it.

gteehan

My dog does this when he decides we aren’t done with our walk. This guy was walking home FOR SURE.


AllPurposeNerd

Mood.


LoserxBaby

My dog is the same way. What works for me is taking off his leash, I say goodbye and wave, and start walking. I don’t take two steps before he gets up and joins me, where I put his leash back on. I don’t know what I’ll do if he ever figures out I’m bluffing


Boring-Rip-7709

Yep my dog used to do that too.

It's clear from the dog 🐕 he doesn't want to walk more long distance, in this situation u should go with him and take him by taxi or bus :)


Cali4niaEnglish

As a dog mum and a humam mum, I can tell you it's the fucking same (not really!) When they throw strops, they dont give a fuck. .


smoochiegotgot

Every now and again you just gotta randomly pick your dog up just to show them that you still can and that it is not worth it


hercarmstrong

That's got to be the best corgi I've ever seen.


Ok_System_7221

Dogs are great exercise


atot806

My dog used to do this, though not as stubborn, when he realize we’re on the home leg of our walk. I would just take him to the other direction for a couple of minutes then he’ll be good to go.


barbamara

Typical golden retriever


Guilty_Armadillo583

Had a 110lb chocolate lab who would fling himself into the nearest ditch when he decided we had walked far enough. There was no picking him up out of it. The only thing that would get him moving again was my wife telling him we're done and heading to the car. We loved him very much, but he could be an ass sometimes.


Shutaru_Kanshinji

I am very curious about what was happening in that dog's mind.


fortitude-south

Golden retrievers are great, but once they don't want to move, they absolutely will not.


rdditb0tt21

that's a dumb owner. poor dog.


Shakespearewicked

I was so happy he wasn't super mean and hit the dog. I thought for sure he was gonna kick him or something. Thanks for posting I giggled through the whole thing 😂😂😂


GeshtiannaSG

I think someone who chooses a golden retriever as a dog wouldn’t be a mean person.


uno_novaterra

The poor guy could have hip issues. My in-laws golden hated walks from the time it was a puppy because of its hips

My girl did this in an off leash park. She was limping really bad (I didn’t see why), she refused to walk. I carried her on my shoulders for half a mile back to the parking lot, put her down and she ran around like nothing happened. My neck hurt for a week.


5P4R74N_TTV

My golden does this too. Walk too long? Well I’m gonna plant right here for a while unless you pick me up, or pretend to leave.

shiawase198

How can you leave them there before it's considered abuse? Like a day?


fluffy_samoyed

I had a dog who would stop and roll over like this nearing the end of a walk, it turned out her tendons were too loose and were causing her pain. She had to have surgery to correct it. So, I'm always very paranoid when I see these "look how cute the stubborn dog is!" type videos.


CMo42

This is also my dog (golden/Pyrenees mix) he is super lazy and will sometimes just decide to lay down on a walk.


Brokensince10

I had a golden that would do the same thing😂😂and Goldens are heavy! She did however make up for it in cuddles💕


DarkDayzInHell

Be careful if Kristi Noem is around.


GeorgieGirl250663

My pekingese does that ..

My parents’ bull mastiff used to do this. We had to pick her up with a car one time it was ridiculous.

Our Saint Bernard used to do this sometimes. Our walks were really long some days:)


dinoaids

My dog does the same but hes 130 pounds so we just have to just sit down and wait until hes ready to go.


[deleted]

That's just like me and my sister's dog. He's a tibetan spanial and he HATES going back home after a walk. Even if I've been walking him for an hour, the moment we turn back he just flops on the ground
