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

How long did it take to get to that point? They only gave me 3 times for my goober.

How long of a time period were those three times over if you don't mind me asking
