Giving the wrong correction??

I have been leaving Storm's leash on him in the house so that when he does something wrong I can quickly grab it and give him a quick tug for correction. This has helped him with his jumping on people coming in the door, chasing the cats and his humping issue.

When I was correcting him I would give him the tug on the leash and would then make him sit until I had his attention. Then I would let the leash go and he could resume what he was doing. Sometimes he would sit there for alittle bit and sometimes he would roll onto his back. When I walked away he just followed me whereever I went.

The only problem is now when we go on walks and he starts pulling or getting to excited I give him this quick tug and he will immediatey sit in the middle of the road and roll onto his back and the only way I can get him to resume walking is if I walk away from him and leave the leash go.

What did I do to this dog??
