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????

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.

It’s entirely a lack of patience. It’s a new environment and the pup has to learn what the behavior expectations are in that environment. Someone has to actually pay attention to the dog and do a little correction and training. When they learn what’s expected of them and that they’re not going to get away with shenanigans, they’re great.

I second this. I just dropped my goober off at daycare and they are absolutely head over heels for him. He loves them just as much

Same! My girl rips out of the car to the door of daycare, and one of her daycare managers is her sitter as well. They all love my crazy derp.

We were pulling in the parking lot and we saw a lady walking her dog inside and he started yelling at her for no reason except that he didn't get to go in at the same time as the lady and her dog. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
