Barking dog in your neighbourhood? The good news is, many barking issues can be resolved quickly and amicably. Sometimes the owner isn’t even aware of the problem.

Our new kit is here to help with:
🐾 tips to reduce excessive barking
🐾 a letter template to let a neighbour know about their dog’s barking
🐾 a step-by-step guide to follow if excessive barking continues.

Find out more: nillumbik.vic.gov.au/barking-dogs

While some barking is normal, dog owners must ensure their dog’s barking isn’t a nuisance. To be considered a nuisance, barking must be persistent over a period of time and unreasonably interfere with a person’s normal activities.
