Barking Dogs

Report a barking dog that is causing a nuisance

Barking dogs can legally be considered a nuisance. We can give the owner a notice stating that the noise must stop, and ask for certain things to be done to achieve this. If the problem continues the owner may face a fine of up to £5,000, and also risks having the dog removed in order to stop the nuisance.

If your dog's barking is making neighbours complain you can contact the dog warden for advice on ways of dealing with dog's barking which is causing a nuisance. Please e-mail dogwarden@harborough.gov.uk
