I think he will grow to love doggie daycare! My girls both love it. My Lane came from a bad situation (puppymill bust). We got her just before Christmas, so we had nearly two weeks to spend with her before we had to return to work. Rory has always loved her daycare and always attended daily while we were working. Well, first day back to work this year, we dropped both girls off at daycare and within three days Lane was running up to the front door through the lobby happy to be there! It was such a happy sight for us, because she has already overcome so much...she too learned how to play with toys and now won't put them down! I am sure at least some portion of what helped Lane was the fact that Rory was there with her, but I truly think Davey will find himself having fun there even if he doesn't intend to.
