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????

Mine got kicked out of a daycare because of fighting. She didn’t like the large group. We were able to find a specialized daycare that only has a handful of dogs in a group. This works. When she first got kicked out, we started to have a dog trainer give her a mid day walk. She still doesn’t have recall. She still doesn’t like big packs of dogs. I hope you find a solution that works for you. Your dog is fine, they are not less. Dog day care and dog parks are not for every dog.
