Hello. I don't know where you live in Sarasota but, Aa great dog park to go to is the one on 17th st. If you are going north on beneva, turn left on 17th ..go through 1 light I believe. You will pass 1 entrance to a park and the next one is the dog park on the right. they have a small and large do side. I usually take bubba and my 2 other ones to the small side. I occasionally take him over to the large dog side if its not too crowded, but it can be a little crazy over there at times! Bubba is over the weight limit but they don't seem to mind, since he is pretty mellow. You should go sometime. Great socialization! I am going tonight @ 545. Let me know if you decide to go sometime and will meet you there.
