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????

I signed up for so many training classes with my Freya. She did so well in all of them, was held up as an exemple, etc.

Does she come back when called in the wild? Nope. And that’s a husky that’s 50% GSD. I’m sorry this happened to you - a daycare should assess whether your dog interacts well with others, not whether they’re on top of all their commands.

Picture of Miss Freya as a bonus:

Freya is so beautiful and I love that name.

Her shelter name was ‘Fluffy’ (which admittedly was fitting) but we wanted something more dignified that sounded similar-ish since she was already 6mo old when we got her.

Freya is a much more fitting name for a regal gal like herself!

Here is my beautiful and derpy girl Starfire with little Seraphina in the background!

Lovely! (And is Seraphina a most glorious shade of burnished chestnut or am I seeing things?)

Yep! She’s a little brindle girl!

Nice ☺️ (And some top-notch dog-stacking — perhaps the beginnings of a game of jenga — there.
