We have a great dog beach in Venice. I have found Florida to be friendlier than NY concerning dogs. Many restaurants have outside seating that is dog friendly, and will give the dog a frisbee and water. On St Armands in SRQ or the main strip oin Naples the stores keep treats for the regulars. Just be considerate. There are some extreme cases on both sides that get most of the attention (ie bringing your dog to a neighboprs lawn to relieve itself or yelling at a dog if it barks.)
