Step away from the dog & don't make eye contact (look away) have the lead stretched so there is a gap between you, slightly pull on the lead & if & when the dog moves give him great praise.
Even if he only moves a little, the praise will encourage him & always remember ignore the bad stubbornness. it could take a long time but just keep at it

I agree fully with this and would even go as far as to stand with your back to the dog (I know it's difficult) as there is little a dog hates more than to be ignored, they are a lot like toddlers, and this approach is like one of the more successful approaches to dealing with tantrums in toddlers.
Applied consistently and with appropriate praise when your dog then proceeds with you this should work.
