Barking dog

If your neighbour’s dog is barking and disturbing you, the first step is to talk to your neighbour if you can. They might not know there’s a problem, especially if the dog barks when they’re not home.

If the owner agrees to do something about the barking, please wait a few weeks to see if their efforts are successful. Council is also happy to provide advice on how to assist with barking dog behaviour.

If you can’t talk to your neighbour, or if their efforts don't change anything, please contact Council to discuss further options using the button below or call us on (02) 4227 7111.
