It is a tough situation. I personally don't like the muzzle especially when it is warm out and it makes panting difficult. But I walk in areas where I rarely pass any people!

I would let them cross the street and you and your dog just keep walking with heads held high. A lot of people will say that dogs don't need to have social time. They have their family and that is really all they need. It makes a lot of sense, but I am kind of like you and like to socialize my dogs. We make play dates with friends and that is great fun for all of them.
