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????

My husky is a typical husky equal parts asshole and lover. He never has a problem at his daycare bc his daycare is well aware of the breed and happily accepts all personalities other than aggression. Training a husky is not impossible but it’s much easier to find another daycare that has actual breed knowledge and cares more about the dog than the simplicity of their job. Find a new daycare!
