I think there's a major difference between sharing a (assuming)5'x5' section of grass with a dozen-plus other dogs, and running through a 20 acre park of grass with him.

For that, I can understand your vets apprehension to too much other dog bathroom activity in a small area. Which is why I suggest the park. Lots less dog bathroom activity per square foot, so the vets concern should be negated.

And you can never play enough with a puppy!

If you figure out how to bottle that boundless energy, I'll take 2 bottles!
