I took Macy to a doggieday care for temperment test, the owner said she did not pass, as she got in the other dogs' face
She has never been to a place with so many dogs, and she was put in a separate room with this mild mannered small dog to see how she would behave at the daycare. This would only be if I had to take her for grooming, as my groomer is right there and I don't always have someone to take her for her appointment. I thought perhaps this would be good for her. She gets along fine with the 2 neighbor dogs, these are terriers. What else can I do to help her with this temperment test in case I would need to use the daycare.

start introducing her to other dogs. Take her to the dog park so she can interact with dogs she doesn't know. She might be scared or on the offensive side at first but she'll get use to it.

I agree with the previous poster. Work on socializing her more. Walk around your neighborhood, go to the dog park, anywhere she can meet dogs safely. Our trainer recommended bringing Bella into Petsmart a couple times a week to get used to seeing people and dogs without being so excited. She's a very in-your-face dog when greeting other pups. Good luck!
