I think the dog was telling you the bird was trapped in front with no exit so pegging was inevitable in that situation. If the dog won't flush there has to be a reason, and a good one won't go in to a bird that's trapped at the end of it's nose.I always steady the dog on sit and review the situation, look for myself and probably do the flushing, that way the dog doesn't peg and the bird may still be shootable.Experienced ones tell me by swiverling their eyes in my direction whilst keeping their head still( if you know what I mean   Very Happy  )
