Get out of my dang way you mutt

Seriously, can we please have a update to make your followers move when you bump into them. Its one thing when its a human follower since you can tell them to do something (go over there) which takes just a moment and is annoying, but when its a dog they wont freaking move unless you tell them to go home in which case it will sometimes just sit down and still not move. Nothing like running down a long narrow dead end hall way and being pined in by your dog and followers. Die sparky dieeeee!

If you sprint into them it will push them out of the way, but that stops working if you're overburdened, or trying to sneak, or if two followers stack up in your way. So yeah, fus ro dah.

Lol yeah you can do that but its still annoying and sometimes your followers maybe low on health. Either way I feel I should not have to send my followers flying (as funny as that is) to get them to move :P

In my game, PC version , I addressed this issue in the following way.

open console
target idiot dog
setscale .5

now he is half as big, easier to get around.
However, it doesn't always work so I just break out my melee weapon and beat
the annoying animal until it moves. This usually works.
Shouting at it doesn't seem to be as effective in getting it out of doorways but it is more fun I suppose. I find
it can tend to piss off the locals whereas a good dog beating doesn't seem to bug anyone.

Until the TK is here I don't expect a mod to fix this.
I hang out on the Nexus most every day and I've yet to see a mod that has addressed this issue posted.

So January at the earliest unless some genius manages to do it sans the TK.

My ultimate fix is to just tell the dog 'stay here' when I'm about to go inside a building. That works for me best.

If your on a game cartidge machine, I guess just use the stab , slam, or stay here method.

Protip: People DO move out of your way if you walk (not just sprint) into them. It just takes a second.

And if they are your own companions, just press and hold the activate key on them until the crosshair changes, then you can tell them to "wait" somewhere else. Pressing tab will cancel this mode.
