Question
Most of the stray puppies/dogs I feed keep following me. When its time for me to go home, I cannot since they are always following me. Some puppies stop at the end of their territory, but others just keep following.
I searched the net, which said training is the solution, but I cannot train them.
How do I stop them from following me? Thank You.
Answer
Let them follow you, but ignore them on the way home!
They don't get attention, treats, love, anything when following. They DO get all of that in the spots where you decide to feed them. Hopefully, most of them will be smart enough to realize "This guy is part of our group when he is here. When he leaves, he leaves. Then he comes back to be with us again. That is great!" :)
