Questionable dog behavior?

[prajan]

My puppy of 1 year has recently became hard to walk. When I walk him he randomly stops and refuses to walk. Its like he has emergency brakes. In response I either pick him up or positively reinforce him by petting him while saying his name in a gentle way. I have never experienced this before. Do you know what is going on?
