I agree, that's why I usually pick her up and don't drag her. She enjoys the park when she is being carried, she wags her tail and likes to meet new people but I think the noises are just too much for her when she is on the floor. I'm going to take a toy and some treats next time and as soon as I see her starting to get a bit jumpy I will try and distract her.
