The word "obstinate" means stubborn. In the first - sentence, it is used correctly to describe a person who remains firm in her decision despite advice. In the second sentence, "obstinately" is misused as it implies a negative connotation while the context is about collaboration. In the third sentence, "obstinate" is misused as it doesn't fit the context of a dog learning tricks.
