Answer

If your dog tends to be anxious around other dogs, try visiting during less busy times when the park is quieter. This can help ease their nerves and make for a more pleasant experience. • You might also consider keeping a safe distance from larger groups of dogs, or using a muzzle if recommended by a vet, to ensure everyone's safety while your pup gets accustomed to the environment.
