Wolves and parrots getting out of 'sit down mode'

First off, I play my game in split-screen and this is 99% of the time affecting the second player. I'm on Xbox One.

I have around 4 dogs (tamed wolves) and six tamed parrots. They are all in my house, in the sit mode. So the non follow modus.

When the second controller comes near the house they all exit the sit mode and run towards the second player. Trying to get them to sit again doesn't work, they keep following you. Only when you run away from the house again they sometimes sitting down on their own again. But often they do not.

This is really annoying as dogs and parrots spawn with you when you get far away from them. So they spawn out of their cages.

As I said before, this is mainly for the second controller, but I had it also happen to the first several times.
