New PetWhy is my dog aggressive at daycare but not with our other dog?
Hi there. It's not uncommon for adult dogs to be somewhat selective about the dogs they want to interact with - not all dogs are "daycare dogs," which is perfectly okay. Alternatively, there may have just been one or more dogs at this particular daycare that he didn't do well with, and he might do better someplace else or with a different management plan (separate play groups for dogs with different energy levels, etc.)
It doesn't sound like we have much information about what specifically happened at his daycare evaluation, so it's hard to speculate much on what the problem may have been without more details. I would suggest asking the daycare supervisor for more info about this, so that you can get a better idea of why it may not have gone well. Depending on the problem, you could consider trying a different daycare to see if he might do better there.
