Use the day in front of you
Outdoor conditions can be different from the forecast. If pavement is hot, shade is scarce, or your dog seems distressed, choose the safer option and take a break or head home.
Crowds are information
Crowding can make a normally social dog uncomfortable. Keep space, avoid forced greetings, and use the venue's calmer edges when possible.
