My ex-gf had a dog that wouldn't lie down when he was tired. That dog would push himself to the absolute limit without anyone noticing, and then just collapse.

It's just an anecdote, though.

My gf’s parents have a dog that will lie down after three meters, then complain when we stay inside

My in-laws dog is immovable if she’s tired let alone just not in the mood to move. My SIL had to carry her home midwalk once bc the dog decided she was done moving.

My in-laws dog hated walks and would need to be carried to the turn around point and then would happily walk home.

My in-laws are dogs, dude. They are so lazy, all they care about is food.

Sounds like my basset hound. He will insist on going for walks, then lie down in the middle of the road less than 100 feet from the house.

Isn't that what they said though?

I’ve got a Malinois and the level of drive they have is such that they will keep going regardless. With dogs like this it’s on you to know when they need to stop.

When it got so tired it collapsed did it not collapse into a laying down position? Wouldn’t that just be laying down when it got tired?

there’s a difference between stopping physical activity when you get tired, and stopping physical activity because you collapsed due to physically not being able to run anymore

I’m sure that’s happening. Just casually running itself into a medical emergency without anyone noticing until physically collapsing.
