So I took Lucy again and she was again terrified. She was shaking and just kept running to the perimeter of the park - trying to avoid all dogs. Again, she could see Ringo.
There were too many bigger dogs in the small dog area and when the last big dog came in; we went out.
She let other dogs sniff her but basically cowered to the ground. Another lady there told me to bring her earlier in the evening when it is not so crowded.
I'm not sure if I will continue taking her; she just seems so very frightened.
I might try ONE more time during a different time of day when it is not so crowded. Honestly, I'm not sure dog parks are all they are cracked up to be. She has Ringo to play with and that seems to be all she needs or wants.
I think the idea of your doggie daycare sounds like a good one!
