What can I do about barking dogs?

Solutions are not simple.  Animal Control can’t just take the dog.   To issue a ticket to the dog owner, several steps must be followed.   It takes time, your cooperation, and quite a bit of paperwork. 

If the barking dog belongs to your neighbor, please talk with your neighbor.  Believe it or not, many people don’t realize that their dog barks.  If positive results are not achieved by your friendly visit, call your Animal Control authority. 

Animal noise is not an emergency.  You will likely be asked to leave a voice mail complaint.   Leave a message that includes your complete name, your address, the address of the barking dog, the owner’s name, and a description of the dog.  We do not take anonymous calls.
