When I talk to dogmeat, i get stuck in command mode.

If I just do an easy thing like ask him to stay, after I ask him to follow again.
I get stuck with mouse as give him orders.
Any solutions?

press tab to cancel command mode

Depending on the distance from Dogmeat, you'll either get command mode or the directional options menu. You should be able to exit both modes by hitting your tab key.

Hmm, will have to try TAB for that since I couldn't find anything searching a few days ago - assuming it works, then thanks!

Dogmeat drives me crazy getting in my way, blowing stealth, and being generally annoying but being able to get out of command mode with a hotkey might make it slightly less annoying. Probably not. I'm working on shifting to wasteland wanderer since companions (in this game and FO3/NV) just get in my way.

I actually tried tab before post here. Swedish keyboard, I dont know. The only thing thats works its go into combat for me.

It's four years late but I just had an issue like this one.

In the middle of a fight, Dogmeat got down and while giving him a stimpak, I accidentally pressed A (XBOX) twice and the command script got stuck. Tried every button but there were always the arrows which indicates that I am in command mode. I couldn't open Pip-Boy but was able to use the light. If you encounter this, try this one

* Shoot Dogmeat until it gets down.
* I wasn't be able to give him stimpak but he automatically got up.
- Dismiss and recruit him again. (not necessary but just in case)
* Save the game and exit to main menu
* Load the save

This fixed my problem, hope this helps

Old but I was able to get out by going underwater (pressing tab normally doesn't do anything) and opening up the map and fast traveling
