Living in Sarasota comes with a major perk for dog owners: beautiful beaches, waterfront parks, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. It's only natural to want to bring your four-legged best friend along for the fun.

Many dog owners assume summer is too busy to begin training. Between vacations, family activities, and spending more time outdoors, it can seem like there aren't enough hours in the day.

I wish more dog owners understood the problem with leash greetings. Take it from me — a dog trainer.
