Of course you are! There's this kid that goes to our dog park who is sooo smart! He doesn't have any dogs of his own, but he is excellent in knowing dog breeds and he knows all the dogs that go to our dog park and their names.

Dog parks are a great place to socialize. If Finn has all his shots done, don't be afraid to try taking him to one. Maybe keep him on the leash when you walk in and let him sniff the other dogs. When he gets more comfortable with his new surroundings you can take the leash off and let him run around. It's a great way for dogs to socialize not only with other dogs, but also with people. Seshy used to be soo scared of both dogs and people, but he knows the dog park is a great place and isn't afraid anymore to go up to someone to get a pet or treats.

As for behavior... as long as your dogs aren't aggressive with other dogs it should be fine. Most people don't like aggressive dogs going to the dog park cuz they don't want fights started. If you know how to control your dog's rough playing behavior (like if he/she starts getting rough and you tell them to stop, then they stop) then it should be fine. Seshy gets a lil nuts over dogs that play fetch and he loves to herd them. I don't mind him herding them but sometimes he starts to nip, so I always have to go make him calm down lol.

Hopefully that was of some help.
