Harry showing character and / or stubbornness

As Harry gets older he prefers doing familiar walks, but I want novelty and try to explore new ways. This can lead to conflicts. In this picture Harry has stopped and will go no further. I say 'Come on Harry!'

It is not that the water is deep. He has come through the deeper parts and is now in shallows but we are going outside where we normally walk. So he stops.

A lady says to me seeing him standing there with reflection, "They have such character."

Not sure whether it is character or stubbornness - maybe they are the same thing.
