Barking Dogs

If you are being disturbed by barking dogs, it is best to talk to the owner to try to resolve the issue.  Owners are required to control their dogs and ensure that they don’t create a nuisance.

If the problem persists, you can contact the Council, who will  investigate the matter . If the complaint is found to be valid, Council will try to resolve the issue by talking to both parties to reach an  agreement as to how the matter will be managed.

In cases where the owner of a barking dog is not willing to take steps to rectify the matter, Council can issue an order or direction on the owner to take certain steps to prevent the dogs barking.  Fines can be issued and  In cases where dogs are dangerous or menacing, the dogs can   be seized

If you are an owner of a barking dog, Council can provide a useful brochure with tips and advice on dealing with the issue, alternatively you can visit https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/dealing-barking-dogs
