Mr Cook then walked away from Elsie in the hopes she would follow after him, as entertained passersby laughed at his dog's antics.
Elsie eventually leaped off the ground and walked after Mr Cook, who grabbed hold of her lead.
But as soon as Elsie seemed like she was obeying, she once again sat herself down on the footpath.
Mr Cook tried in vain to pull on her leash but again, the petulant pooch didn't get off the ground.
Elsie remained on her back with all four paws in the air for the next 30 seconds, before Mr Cook offered her dog treats in a desperate attempt to get her moving.
'Nobody has told Elsie the Golden Retriever that restrictions have been slightly eased so she thinks she's going home to get another 6 weeks of lockdown in her home when all she really wants is them to all go back to work so she can have her home back to herself,' the video's caption read
Crowds of amused bystanders started to form around Elsie has her stubborn display continued, until she eventually stood up to play with another smaller dog.
But Elsie's obedience was short lived, and she once again played dead on the promenade.
Mr Cook walked away to a nearby cafe to try and tempt Elsie to get up, before she eventually wandered toward her owner.

The adorable golden retriever was the most talked-about canine in the country last week when a passerby filmed her lying on the footpath refusing to get up to prolong returning home from her daily walk.
Mr Cook was seen pulling the pooch's lead while glancing around with an embarrassed look on his face.
Eventually Mr Cook dropped the leash and walked away from the dog in the hopes she would follow.
But Elsie stayed put and refused to move.
The defeated owner walked back to his dog and picked him up so she was now standing on all fours.
