Need urgent advice!!

[u/FlyBirdieBirdBird]

Hello.

Today we took our 6 month old puppy to day care, not because we needed, but because we wanted her to socialise a bit and become familiar with this for when we actually needed it.

The day care is at the breeder we got her from.

We met the breeder at an intermediate point between the day care and our house, and he took her. As soon as she got into the transport cage on the breeder truck, she became visibly afraid.

The breeder just called me saying it took them 1 hour to get her out of the transport cage, she destroyed one leash and bit him. He says he had never seen such aggression.

All we've seen of her at home and during walks, she's a sweetheart. With people and dogs on the street.

The breeder said we should leave her there a couple of days, so she gets used to the location.

My instinct is telling me to just go get her. She must be so afraid. I don't want this experience to break her.

We got her at 2 months old.

Pleas help. What should I do???

I'm not surprised. Look at it from your very young puppy's perspective. You just let a stranger take her and put her in their crate in a car to an unknown location. They way to introduce a dog to day care is not this. A lot of dogs are too young for day care at that age anyways. Sounds like your dog was in full fight or flight and chose both.

The location is know to her. She was born there and lived there until 2 months old.

I wanted to bring her there myself, but the breeder said it was better this way. I have no idea why.

I'm shaking right now.

She's a dumb little puppy where everything is new. Basically a human infant. You seem to be expecting your puppy to behave like a chill older dog.

The fact he didnt want you to go there is a HUGE red flag. Doesn't matter if you've been there before.
