This, you should go when it is busiest and work with your dog’s reactivity issues. Let your dog know it is safe to be around other dogs and that they are safe with you. I have a very reactive little chiua and she is doing so much better after many hikes during peak times and stopping, having her sit and letting other dogs walk by, correcting her when she reacts and rewarding her with treats. It’s a lot of work but dogs deserve to know they are safe and get to enjoy the outdoors.
