Barking Dogs
Dogs that bark excessively can be a source of great irritation to neighbours. If you have a problem with a neighbour’s dog, or if your own dog is barking too much, this information may help.
Talking to the dog’s owner about the problem is the first step. Many owners may not even be aware that their dog is causing a problem through barking as the dog may only bark when no one is at home. They may also be able to help identify why the dog is barking.
Council’s Animal Control department require the complaint to be submitted in writing which should include accurate details of address of dog, what sort of dog, the description and the extent of the problem.
At least 50 per cent of your adjoining neighbors will also be required to submit a letter in writing to the extent of the nuisance (eg. a diary of events and barking).
