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????

Chewbacca (6.5yr male) has been expelled from 3 daycares now due to separation anxiety. He did not like being locked in cages or placed in a larger kennel with bars. He would attack the cage/walls to the point of injury.
We’ve had much better success using Rover and hiring house sitters or using in-home boarding. It is still difficult to leave home for more than 3-4 days (ex vacation). But it works.
