So Otis didn't like getting scooted and scolded by dad huh. Typical! Not sure what others will say, but I would suggest that next bed time if Otis is on the bed, dad could come with good treats (really good treats) and offer one to Otis. Then dad could request that Otis leave the bed and go to his bed and encourage and reward this behaviour with another treat. In my head I'm thinking dad needs to let Otis know that being told to leave the bed is an okay thing and he's not mad at him. A reward from dad for obedient behaviour may help him to forget he got in trouble for not moving when asked. Good luck with this, it may also just pass on it's own with time. Dad just needs to really focus on good interactions for a while.
