Types of noise nuisance

We cannot prevent a dog from barking, we can only work with the owner to reduce the noise. If this fails we would consider further legal action but we would not remove the dog. 

If you're the owner of a dog that constantly barks you need to take steps to prevent such barking, or legal action can be taken against you. Visit the Dogs Trust website for tips on how to stop dogs barking. 

Contact us using the forms at the start of this guide to report a dog barking issue or for further help with your barking dog. 

Contact the RSPCA if you're concerned that the dog is barking due to it suffering, or you're worried about its welfare.
