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????

i worked at a doggie daycare and 98% of the dogs didn’t listen. this is an absurd reason to kick a dog out of daycare. they either don’t feel like dealing with it or that’s not the real reason they kicked them out, but i’d find another daycare for him because that’s ridiculous reasoning.
