I use a harness for my bunny (although many users here do not reccommend such a contraption).
I take Penelope to public parks and have her play with the kids/adults/whoever wants to pet her. Pen couldn’t care less about people at the park and would rather dig around and lounge under picnic tables. She seems to tolerate strangers fairly well and will even allow toddlers to come up to her and pet her.

The funny thing is that these parks will commonly have “no dogs” or “no pets allowed” signs, so i’m not worried about other animals harming Pen. Plus, park officials seem to disregard Penelope and they like her and make a huge fuss when she’s around.
I eventually want to enroll/evaluate Penelope to become a therapy animal (which is where the harness thing may come in handy), but I shall wait.

I made my harness because pen’s old one became tighter.
I take off the harness whenever Pen and I are inside so she won’t get tangled.
Penelope only walks in parks/lots/grassy areas on the leash.
Penelope is always the leader.
