Stopping 2,000 Barking Dogs

Hoping the outcome of this is for the good of all . Thanks :D

Anyone that knowingly allows their dog to bark outdoors, within any of the densely populated areas of LA, ought to be beaten with a stick. Not kidding. Not having it. It is so inconsiderate that it boggles the mind.

Barking dogs in LA is the least annoying: It's the roosters and illegal parrots that drove me insane when I lived right outside of downtown.

Has Dennis Romero been cited for his rabid journalism?

My neighbors let their mutts out to crap in their back yard. After they do that, then they want back inside so they whine, howl, bark etc ... at the back door for 30 - 55 minutes at a time. The owners ignore this. I told the male homeowner (over the fence) and asked him nicely to not let his dogs bark for so long. I suggested they install a dog door. They don't care. I bought a $100 dog silencer (those don't work, by the way). I have addressed the female homeowner with a bullhorn when she opened the door. She had the nerve to stare at me ... like I'M the one doing something WRONG! CHRIST! They KNOW they are being inconsiderate to all of the neighbors. They just don't care. I don't know how idiot, losers like this have a half million dollar home on Longridge Ave. in Sherman Oaks. I can't take naps EVER because I WILL get jolted awake when the three times a day one hour barking symphony starts. The neighbors next to them also have two mutts, and the guy next to me has one as well. It's HELL when all are out at the same time. It's absolutely ridiculous that non pet owners have to be subjected to this day in and day out.

Great article to read . I must say that I learned something. Thanks for sharing to everyone :D

Good That drives me nuts! It should be illegal to have chronic barking dogs.

A barking dog nearly ruined my life and forced me to move. Animal control was no help. Neighbors were no help. Dog owners used intimidation and harrassment. It was a nightmare. I am an avid animal and pet-lover. The problem is the owners, not the poor, often neglected animals. Los Angeles needs to toughen up and change this system!

Those who complain about excessive barking could instead try to set an example by acting humane to the dogs and learning to speak dog. If dog owners themselves arent bothered by barking the owners must not be interested in their dog's well being. Maybe if the neighbors took time to get to know the offending dog, the barking would lessen. While no one wants to have to learn dog training, especially for a dog that is not their own, it would go a long way towards solving a problem. Or at least give the complainants something to do for the eight months until the hearing. Clearly dog owners have a responsibility towards their dogs but if it is not being met, then someone else taking responsibility by training the dog is better than no one taking responsibility. Dog barking is self reinforcing. When a dog barks it needs to be distracted or exercised so it doesnt keep barking. There are many great youtube videos on dog training - i recommend searching for 'calming signals' as they are really easy to learn. One example is to yawn and look away. Anyway t is much easier to communicate with an angry dog than an angry owner in my opinion.

Another restaurant cliaimed to use fresh mozz arella cheese,where it's dishes were actually made with economy cheddar.the "fresh pasta"advertieshed on another meau tumed out to be frozen.--Agedate. ℃⊙M--a nice and free place for younger women and older men,or older women and younger men,to interact with each other.

This is becoming a very serious problem and creating animosity between neighbors. If dog owners would be considerate and do what they are supposed to do, I would not have a problem with your dogs. I love dogs. But I don't want your dogs to keep me up all night because you don't do anything about their barking all hours of the night. And you should carry doggie bags. I live downstairs (duplex) and upstairs lives the property owner's sister. She has turned the backyard into a dog bathroom. I don't even open my windows or curtains anymore because all I see and smell is dog poop. She is an older lady and owns about 6 small dogs and those are the ones that bark the most and for no reason. She has hardwood floors and her dogs scampering about sounds like a stampede. It is extremely annoying, and yes, has caused a major strain in our relationship. We are looking to move out but it is hard to find a place with a reasonable rent. Like I said, control your dogs barking and pick up their poop and the city council won't have to waste time on issues such as these and focus on the important ones, like how they dropped the ball re the stimulus money due to the city of L.A.!!!!!

If you get no satisfaction from the Animal Control department, take your complaint to court in the form of a small claims petition. Ask the judge for $500.00 and give hm your proof. If you win, you can file another complaint and ask for additional money each time the dog continues to bark. After a few thousand dollars in judgements, either the neighbor will actually do something or move.

I'm wondering about the law regarding vicious dogs. I have a neighbor whose dog always sneaks up on me when I'm working in the yard, and starts viciously barking through the fence and showing its teeth. It's part pit bull and scares the hell out of me every time. The neighbor usually calls it off within a few minutes, but not before I've had a near heart attack. I'm sure if the fence weren't there this dog would go for my throat.

Brenda Barnett obviously has her head in the right place. She loves animals and her job is to deal with people who are vindictive and use barking as an excuse to attack their neighbors that is something an animal control person has to sort out. Too many animals???? Hey ask the RESCUE community why they bring in all those foreign dogs and cats. That IS a problem. $100,000 for Beagles from Spain, do Angelenos really believe that there was NO one in Europe to adopt those Beagles and only Angelenos could have done it? Again too many dogs..........complain to the rescue community who keep trying to make themselves feel good by grabbing dogs from foreign countries because we don't have enough to rescue here.

I hate noisy dogs, so does everyone else but some people (stupid or ignorant) don't know how to control their animals nor do they understand them. They are animals and are reactive to their surroundings. Resolutions can be found if anger is set aside and talk is begun. Bark collars or training OR post solutions on their door if you can't talk to them.....

"horrific noise problems, callous, inconsiderate neighbors and a strangely lenient city government"Describes my experience with the problem well.Took me an entire year to resolve it. Vicious dogs barking and attacking the fence any time I went in my own back yard. The barking was at all hours. Every day. And, you better have the proper documentation/video evidence or you start all over again. It was so bad, the Judge Judy people picked it up and had me on the show. A complete nightmare...

Solution: Meatball with a cyanide pill tucked inside.

And stupid Breeder Brenda Barnette wants to up the household limits to create more barking dogs and more cats on the streets. Get rid of her, LA, she is a joke.
