Answer
Hi Kathy;
Do you have a gas stove?
If so.IMMEDITELY call your utilities company to come out and check for a gas leak.
Is this a new behavior?
how long have you had him?
Have you recently moved to a new place, and did this behavior start after the move?
If he has behaved this way ever since you have had him, You need to call the people who trained him. they know him best, and could better find what the trouble is and fix it.
If it is only when they go to the kitchen and turn on the stove, and it is a gas stove, I am betting you have a leak.
