Recruited companion running around way too fast at my estate, weird pathing

I've had this issue since I've been playing, but logging on today things were more buggy than usual, even after restarting everything, and this was even more apparent. At my estate, my companion is almost always just booking it everywhere, and it seems like the pathing is strange, so I legitimately have trouble catching them or getting them to follow me to do anything. Today after spawing in, they were hauling around so fast that they were a blur going back and forth in front of me about once per second, and then was still running around eerily quickly. Today I'm having extra troubles with the "stand still" and "follow me" commands not working, but this isn't the first time either. I'm guessing they're not programmed to run around so fast you can't catch them at the estates, but maybe a "walk around nearby" command could be nice if for some reason that's somewhat intentional, but they seem to behave more normally in open spaces.
