Lazy mate

I really like the game. This simulator is what got me into the other Gluten Free games. My only problem is that my ‘mate’ and ‘pups’ refuse to leave the den. I tried walking backwards a few times. They follow me to a certain point, and then run back into back of the den the moment I leave the den. Is this supposed to happen, or do I just have a lazy pack?
