BARKING DOGS?
What do I do if there is a serious barking problem in my neighborhood?
1. Talk to your neighbor.
If possible, approach your neighbor and tactfully discuss the problem with them. Many people do not realize that their dog barks when they are not home or that it disturbs their neighbors. Many dog owners react well to such friendly approaches and are able to find a solution.
2. Contact the Police Department at 920.478.2343.
If no results are achieved by your friendly visit or you choose not to make contact with the dog owner, call the Police Department. Be prepared to leave a message with your name, address and phone number as well as the address of the barking dog, its recent barking history, description of the dog and name of the owners if known.
Many barking complaints are resolved after an Officer's initial visit.
