Pets won't teleport to you if Elytra is used.

Basically, I live in the middle of a desert, there are no Jungles or Taigas nearby, so I have to travel a lot by using Elytra. I found a Taiga about 3000 blocks away from my home. I "adopted" 3 wolves, I used my Elytra to fly back to my house and I was waiting for my dogs to teleport to me, but they didn't. If I go back to where they are and walk around or just fly under 50 blocks away, my dogs do teleport, but in long distance, they don't. I even got a cat and a bird but the jungle is about 8000 blocks away, and they won't TP to me. Is that intended?
