I just joined this forum and saw your posting. Our girl Shady was just the same - didn't want to walk and would sit or lay down and refuse to move! We couldn't believe it! After all, don't all dogs live for their walks? She wasn't a bit shy or nervous (is your pup outgoing?). When I asked about it at the puppy school, the trainer looked at me like I was nuts! If we were on trails in the woods, however, she would act like every other dog, excited and sniffing and running back and forth. Eventually, at about age 2, we learned our girl has OCD, a fairly common genetic issue with Berners. It's a kind of arthritis of the elbow joints. Rapid growth in large puppies (too much protein in the food, puppy foods are bad for this) as well as too much exercise contributes to this so take care until your boy is 6 to 9 mo old. Hopefully your boy is just a lazy guy.
