So i get the biscuits out and he jumps straight in his bed ready to eat them, but i point to the door to tell him to go outside and ill feed him there, he runs straight out the door.....................

It's the way you do it, if you make an arm movement in an 'away' gesture they know but if you just point at something theyll look at your finger. I've got a border collie known to be the most intelligent of breeds but even he will look at your finger when you point at something.
