Dog barking complaints

Barking can be a major annoyance for your family and your neighbours. If your dog’s barking is an issue, you could try:

1.  Putting your dog in a private area of your yard away from neighbourhood noises

2.  Enrolling your dog in obedience classes

3.  Purchasing or renting a barking deterrent device through a pet store or your      veterinarian

4.  Speaking with your veterinarian about other options

If you would like to make a complaint about a barking dog in your neighbourhood, there are a few steps you are required to follow:

1. Request a Dog Barking package by filling in the Dog Barking package request form.
2. Complete the dog barking package over a period of time.
3. Municipal Enforcement will review your form. When it is complete and if it provides sufficient detail, Municipal Enforcement will follow up with the dog owner.
