LOL Jaden,

He is doing exactly what you trained him to do!!! Smart aren't they.

My wife had a similar "problem" with our Benny about a week ago.
I have problems with my legs now and then and it affects my balance so I have trained Benny to never go through a doorway in front of or next to me. I have also trained him to wait for me to go up and down stairs---I go up or down FIRST and then I call him and he comes to me.
About a week ago my wife goes down stairs to get some craft stuff and she is ready to come back up stairs.
So, I hear her saying "GO" , "GO UPSTAIRS" , "OK" and a bunch of other stuff.
Finally she says " Hey, Benny won't go up the stairs"
I am standing near the top of the stairs biting my tongue not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
I ask her why he won't come upstairs.
She doesn't know--"he is just laying there with his tail waging and looking up at me with his head tilting from side to side like I'm nuts."
I say " He thinks you are---me too."
Then she gets it--she comes up first and we have a couple of minutes of discussion --all the while Benny is down there in the dark waiting to hear the word HERE.
Wife starts to walk to the Kitchen and I ask if she is going to leave him down there all night.
She says HERE and Benny comes flying up the stairs to a perfect front.
He did just what he was trained to do---GOOD BOY!!
I am still working on the wife---Benny is actually easier to train.

Thats what Storm is doing---just what you trained him to do!! GOOD BOY!!
Don't worry, you didn't hurt him or break him---he'll be fine---see, he is trainable and wants to please you---and he'll do it in the house or out on a walk--just what YOU trained him to do.

I bet you get it now. Just modify your techniques a little.
