Have you spoken with the breeder? Doggie daycare with a staff of professionals may not be a bad idea for her, but only if she is with other younger dogs that are her size and dogs that have a proven record of playing well with others. Also, I would do the NILIF with her and be sure that you are being consistent with all rules, especially as they pertain to her stuff and food. I have seen dogs that are nasty to other dogs when their owner is around, but when the owner is gone they play well with others.
