Lucy is almost two, Karen. I think you are right about finding the right time when it's not crowded.

We went to two separate parks, one on Sunday and one Tuesday evening and both were jam packed with a variety of size dogs. She seemed better at the one on Sunday because the big dog park is not right next to it. Tuesday evening, she could see the big dogs all running on the other side of the fence and that scared her as well.

I'm sure she could tell I was a little nervous - but all the dogs seemed friendly so I wasn't really terrified.

But I would looove to find a time when there were only 1-2 other dogs there. I'm thinking Saturday before 11:00 - might be another time to try.

Thanks for your encouragement!
