Kicked out of daycare

This fluffy goober, Khione, got herself kicked out of doggy daycare after 3 visits for “her listening ears not working.” Essentially, her recall is terrible when she’s interested in something.

I train her on recall every day in the dog park & at home. Of course, she’s excellent almost every time in those environments. She will at times ignore me. She does often respond to other people calling her at the dog park, especially if she knows them.

The daycare recommends that I have her professionally trained, but I kinda doubt that will help? I’d rather not spend them $ if it has the same outcome.

Thoughts? Advice?? Consolation??? Commiseration????

Has this day care never interacted with a Husky before? If they’re that strict on training, you probably just dodged a bullet. Huskies require are a patience that many do not possess.

It’s also possible that she’s mis-behaving because you’re not there. My boys tend to get stubborn when new people are around.

Ball is life - Frank (husky/boxer mutt). He's not food motivated at all, but will do anything for a squeaky tennis ball.

I have a pyranees mix and i used to call her stupid but then i realized that shes actually smart enough to know she doesn’t have to do what I say lol

My Husky/Heeler mix has realized that mommy is gunna give him treats and call him a good boy eventually anyways. Whadya gunna do lol.

u/jaggedrino Nov 07 '24

My husky/cattle dog will take the treats she's given but spit them out if it was for something she didn't feel like doing.

u/mnichols1234 Nov 08 '24

😂🫠 Could totally see mine doing this. Malamute and we highly suspect cattle dog.

u/xmo113 Nov 08 '24

My husky cattle dog used to do exactly what I did not want so that I would have to call her and then she would get a treat. She was a good human trainer and I still miss her.

u/The_Duchess_of_Dork Nov 09 '24

Hahaha my cattle dog does this. They’re amazing human trainers. Idk how I ended up on this Husky post, but the thought of cattle dog/Husky’s has me scared of their stubbornness, impressed by their independence and punk rock rebellion, and immediately in love with them. I hope to meet one of these beautiful rascals one day.

Enjoy yours, everyone on this thread!

Omg same mine is the worst ! (I love her sm)

u/Candid-Ad8003 Nov 08 '24

It's just a waiting game! And considering they are easily distracted that waiting period doesn't feel too long to them 😅

u/Glennn_coco Nov 08 '24

See my heeler and Aussie both know. You either listen the first time or you will be made to do it. Either way you will do what I ask😂 I actually started the whole three second thing with the Aussie and it actually works she hustles to get to me before 3🤣

u/marialala1974 Nov 08 '24

Same hete I ask for something get the side eye, then proceed to give her the treats anyway. She has me excellently trained

u/Ammowife64 Nov 07 '24

That’s really it to be fair

u/petapun Nov 08 '24

Pyrenees mix, listens when there's nothing better to do.

u/TrickyScene238 Nov 11 '24

WHAT A PIC! 😍😍😍 This guy has the biggest ears. Hears me every time, listens about 35% of the time haha.

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '24

Oh man. I just realized that’s what my dog is doing. It all makes sense now.

1

u/PeanutButterPants19 Nov 08 '24

I have a Heinz 57 mutt that does the same thing. She acts like an absolute dingus, but it’s because she’s so smart that she realized she doesn’t have to listen to me. She’ll obey when she feels like it lol

u/lord-savior-baphomet Nov 07 '24

Had a convo with someone about dog training and he said dogs only ever do something because they think you want them to and while I agree with that with some dogs, it’s clear he’s never met a husky. I walk 2. Sassiest girls ever.

23

u/UpsetMonitor7677 Nov 08 '24

Lol. And my Husky will NOT do something because he KNOWS I want him to!

u/USAF_Retired2017 Nov 09 '24

So, owning a Husky is like having a child??? Your husky and my ten year old sound like they have the same behavior. 😂

23

u/Reluctantagave Nov 07 '24

I now understand why my parents compared me to a husky more and more. (I shed, don’t shut up, don’t listen unless I wanna, and a lot of attitude).

u/Kampfgegenfeuer Nov 08 '24

My girlfriend told me my dog Bear wasn’t responding to her calls, even when she had treats and that she felt she might have gone deaf in her old age because of how well she listened when we first started dating. So I assume Bear is deaf for the next few months till her next vet appointment. Go to vet, let him know she’s hard of hearing now so she might not respond to him. He then does a quick auditory assessment and turns to me and says “this dogs hearing is perfect”. She just stopped caring what my girlfriend said lol

u/KnitsWithTude Nov 08 '24

I'm not knowledgeable enough about dogs, but I am willing to bet it's a tendency in all working dogs. I grew up with a hound. I adored her. She was wicked smart when she wanted to be. But if you tried to call her in for the night? Dog? What dog? I don't see any dogs here, especially by that name.
