I have taken my Yorkie to doggie day care before. She loves it b/c she gets to be around other dogs and it gets all of her energy out. Sometimes I board her there overnight for weekend getaways. I would recommend doing some research for the best ones in your area and asking for recommendations from friends. In the Denver area, day care costs about $20-25/day. Doggie daycare isn't for everyone, but it is definitely worth looking into.
At her daycare, they have an enclosed outdoor area (w/wading pool) that they play in a few times a day; the big dogs are usually separated by the smaller dogs, but it depends on their personalities too. The staff is really friendly, which helps me to be more comfortable leaving her with "strangers". Eventually they are no longer strangers. Some daycares are more elaborate than others and of course they will usually cost more.
BTW, I would definitely recommend puppy training! It helps to socialize the dog and you learn many techniques for training and raising your dog.
Best of luck and enjoy!
