I agree on the dog parks. My dogs always had each other to play with, but even if they had not, if I had had a single dog, I'm just not comfortable with dog parks. I have gone with a few of my kids, one at a time, but only in extremely controlled situations and never with more than one other dog there, and it had to be a dog I already knew well.
Dog parks can be a terrible crap shoot, and losing there can be deadly. A really safe muzzle isn't safe for a playing dog. Those can only be left on for a very short time since the dog can't pant, so can't sweat. I've yet to find a basket muzzle that they can't get off, and I just really don't care for using them.
