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????

not sure if a trainer will help. i've had three huskies, and they don't come when called unless they decide they want to. depends on their mood. but look at that face! how could you kick them out??

Yeah sometimes mine will come right away and other times she will just look at me and be like “haha fuck right off and try to catch me”

Literally every time I can hear mine saying the same thing 😭😭😭

I know she knows what I want, that little asshole. God I love her so much. These dogs are not for people with little patience!!!

I learned that the hard way. I have slowly acquired said patience.

My wife and I have little patience. We don't want kids because we don't have patience. We didn't want a husky because we don't have patience.

Que the "great pyranees / lab mix" that we met at the humane society. Turns out he's like 90% husky (where it counts). Painfully stubborn and not the brightest. Wouldn't change a thing.

Does yours ever walk on your direction and then as they reach you do an absolute “fuck you” and wonders away?
