The other morning while was taking him out side to pee, 2 stray dogs started to bark and he ran right into the house. Should I be introducing him to others dogs now or wait till he gets his rabies shot?
Personally, I'd go to a puppy kindergarten class not a dog park. IMO, he's way too young for dog parks.

A puppy kindergarten class will have more control. Any dog and jump him at a dog park. Some adult dogs do not like puppies. And puppies get that message. So I'd stay away from there for a few more months at the very least.
