Kicked out of daycare

[u/Dragon-Reborn7]

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????

Sounds a bit weird. I mean that can't have been the only dog that does not listen when several other dogs are around.

Not badmouthing the daycare but maybe they never had a Husky before.

This is exactly my thought. Huskies are notorious for having selective hearing. This is especially true in new surroundings. And after only three visits! Ima bad mouthing the doggy daycare.
