My response is be glad there is only 3 following you - I have 5 dogs and 3 of my daughters are living with me right now. Sometimes all of them follow me - sometimes only 5 or 6, sometimes only 1 or 2. My heart dog Snoopy died a couple of months ago and he truly followed me everywhere! And I miss that more than I can say. The rawhide idea sometimes works but sometimes they all follow me and chew on their rawhide wherever I am.
