If you are live near a barking dog, there are some things you can do to keep your neighborhood quiet.

First, try contacting the barking dog’s owner and ask them to do something about the noise. On some occasions the pet owner may not be conscious of the problem and hopefully take steps to stop the barking right away.

If this does not work, then notify your local humane society. They will want the name and address of the pet owner, and probably your name and address too. It’s also a good idea to keep track of when the dog is disturbing people.

Usually a letter from the humane society is sent to the dog owner, and usually this letter takes care of the barking problem.

However, if the barking dog continues to bark, you will have to call the humane society again. This time a complaint will probably be issued, and an officer will deliver it to the dog owner.
