Why does your dog make himself dead weight the minute you put a leash on him?

Dogs don't actually play dead when they are put on a leash. This phrase refers to a dog suddenly sitting down and refusing to move when they do not want to go for a walk. This reluctance can be caused by several factors, including medical problems, anxiety or fear, stubbornness, or even simple fatigue. To address the issue, it's important to understand why your dog behaves in this way and implement appropriate training and behavior modification strategies.
