Nuisance Barking
- Don't let your dog bark or whine for long
periods.
- Keep your dog indoors if it barks constantly
when unattended or disturbed.
- If your dog still barks when indoors make
arrangements to leave it with a neighbour or friend or get someone
to call in - leave its favourite toy or put the radio on at
very low volume.
- Move the kennel or erect a fence so that
your dog is disturbed less often by passers-by. Attend a dog
training class to retrain your dog and change his / her behaviour.
To make a noise complaint about a barking
dog please call our call centre on 01442 867866
If an Environmental Health Officer is called to
investigate a nuisance barking complaint it may lead to a statutory
notice being served on you. You then have 21 days to stop the
nuisance barking. If you fail to stop your dog barking, financial
penalties may follow and may ultimately mean that you will have
to part with your dog.
Is your dog barking
too much ?
