Are dogs allowed on Sarasota County beaches?
Brohard Paw Park in Venice is described by the county and local guides as the only public beach in Sarasota County where dogs are allowed. Check posted signs before you go.
Do I need to keep my dog leashed in Sarasota parks?
In the City of Sarasota, dogs in city parks must be leashed except in designated dog parks. Other parks post their own rules, so read the signs.
Is red tide a risk for dogs?
It can be. Florida health officials advise rinsing a dog's fur and paws with fresh water after contact and keeping dogs from eating fish or drinking the water.
What age can a dog start training?
Puppies can start simple routines once settled and cleared by a vet for outings. Adult and senior dogs learn too.
How do I choose between lessons and home visits?
If the problem happens mostly at home, a home visit fits. For leash and general manners, lessons elsewhere often work well.
