Ummm. Yoko, Yes, I'm going to plan what beach to take Serenity to because with all the noise, tons of people/dogs/objects, she'll freak out. It's a horrible idea to take her to a crowded place. So, yes, I make sure when I take her out, it isn't to packed beaches/swimming/hiking areas. She is fine with a few people here and there, a few groups of people here and there. That's fair enough, I don't expect her to love a crowded place.
-I can walk her in to town and she's fine. She wears a muzzle, just in case. She doesn't just try and suddenly attack people, she can get a nice pet without a issue and sometimes she enjoys it. She'd be wearing a muzzle with a 'pet me' sign so it would be clear she has issues and I'm sure people would ask.
-I need people to pet her to help her and I don't see the harm if she's wearing a muzzle because people know then she has issues. She isn't HA. She's a tad fearful at times but it's not all fear ether.
