Doggy daycares are a godsend for those who struggle to leave their canine babies alone at home when they have to go to work. Knowing that they're in a safe space where they get to play/socialize with other dogs while under the watchful eye of trained professionals is a big weight lifted off their shoulders. Thanks to such daytime care centers, they no longer have to spend their day worrying about whether their furbaby is sad and lonely at home or on a destructive streak throughout the house. However, not all dogs are cut out for a disciplined daycare life.
Twitter user Sophie Haigney shared how their dad's dogs got kicked out of daycare because they were forming a gang. The hilarious anecdote garnered over 159k likes and 11.5k retweets on the social media platform and prompted other Twitter users to share the times when their dogs were asked not to return to dog daycare. The thread that came out of it is the perfect dose of canine comedy to brighten up your day.

Radar got the boot for constantly taking over the biggest bed and snarling at any dog who tried to come near it. So smol, so selfish, likes comfort. pic.twitter.com/nrwxF9vaU6

Carlos the bulldog got the boot because he didn’t like the other dogs around his BFF Otis. They locked him in a room where he proceeded to eat their couch cushions. pic.twitter.com/I6uKMwtfAl

My great dane was put into the little dog room, where he was thoroughly bullied, because he kept getting mad at the big dogs for roughhousing and standing between them like a canine hall monitor.

He is 500% a snitch. pic.twitter.com/HoNd6uLEHV
Mine got kicked out cause he unlocked all the gates and doors and let the dogs out. They were running all over the lobby and office. He also broke into the food room and helped himself! pic.twitter.com/Y12CdkQ8tV

Mine was deemed ‘not suitable’ as he loved the lady so much he spent his time ushering all the other dogs away from the human. He was exhausted by 10 a.m. pic.twitter.com/xiDLyQJ3Pb

My dog was kicked out because he took all of the toys out them in the corner and peed on them. It was pretty embarrassing

Our husky got kicked out for unlocking one of the gates and letting all of the dogs out and then stayed back to play with the toys by herself. Too smart for her own good pic.twitter.com/OBmPtoNrE0

This lady was moved to the bigger pen because when she gets mad she “smashes” puppies. pic.twitter.com/bMHMVkCkEp

My dog was politely asked to leave a dog-training session when he pooped on the floor (he was excited & nervous) & then started a dog riot.

Our Cocoa was kicked out because she is too pretty and all the boys wanted to mount her (even though all parties have been fixed) which caused numerous snarl and snap fests. pic.twitter.com/GWmtg4PbBj

Happened to my two boys as well. They’d pick a dog each day to harass and follow. Still good boys!! pic.twitter.com/EwbNBCcaiS

My GSD was *almost* kicked out of daycare for fighting until they noticed that she was being jealous and possessive over our other dog. Now they have to go to separate locations. pic.twitter.com/keIWYmvijJ

These 2 got in trouble for "policing" the other dogs at the kennel one time and had to get split up 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/cfTWuJLsyw

She didn't get kicked out but I got a note about my dog Rose mugging a puppy for it's treat at daycare. pic.twitter.com/y85H3XTQQi

Mine escaped the 'time out' pen at one (jumped a 5ft fence, can't remember what he's done to need time out) and took out a cat flap and a kitchen drainpipe at another.

Were they recruiting? Mine was expelled for excessive headbutting.

This boy “doesn’t have good manners”. Manners learned in same day care. It’s ok. They love him at the new place. pic.twitter.com/7Zy3PN2F01
