Barking Dogs
All dogs make noise at some time but if you are concerned about the level of noise a dog in your area is making, try to resolve the issue by speaking to the owner first. Most dog owners are responsible and are willing to work with their neighbours. If you approach them in a friendly manner you may be able to reach a solution without having to take further action. Remember that dog owners may not be aware that their dog is causing a nuisance if they are not at home when the barking occurs.
Barking is a natural behaviour for dogs and they may have various reasons to bark however, it may take some time to teach the dog different ways to behave to certain situations.
