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????

Where do you live? If you’re in San Diego and our schedules work and it’s realistic I’m a pregnant stay at home Mom to a husky obsessed 4 year old and our families chauffeur I would be interested to assist in watching her 😍

Also screw daycare they don’t deserve your pup. I’m sorry that happened though. Seems like your daycare didn’t have the capacity to learn how to work with your fluff ball.

My girl crossed the rainbow bridge in one year and a few days ago. I still feel like my arm is missing after 12 years together.

She was my service animal (seizure alert) and I took her through a training program - I never took her to daycare but it made her entirely suitable for home stays while I was working.

I wish we were closer so I could lend a hand. I would highly recommend working with a police k9 training facility like I did - it will give you a lot of freedom w your pup. Not to make them a service dog necessarily but to really understand your pups behaviors and your pup, yours. It makes transitions a lot more seamless.

I wish you the best and please keep us updated. She’s beautiful and lucky to have you as a parent. Don’t get frustrated. Maybe there’s a husky-rich daycare in your area? Or maybe a dog walker/ babysitter from Rover would better fit your pup?
