Dogs bark naturally, but the constant barking or whining of a dog can be very disturbing or annoying for your neighbours.

In law, a barking dog can be a "statutory noise nuisance".

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 you (as the owner) could be taken to court if you do nothing to stop the nuisance.

If speaking to your neighbour hasn't worked or isn't an option, try contacting your local council about the noise complaint. This can help resolve the underlying issue, or if there is a welfare complaint they will contact us. Contact your local council about a barking dog .
