What should I do about a barking dog problem in my community?
The first thing we recommend is to contact the dog's owner directly and to reach a mutual agreement with your neighbor. If you cannot come to an agreement, please call our office at 636-949-7387 and file a report. An Animal Control Officer will contact the owner of the dog to check on the animal, educate the owner and advise them on ways to stop the problem. Unfortunately, a barking dog problem can be difficult to resolve and may require more than one response. Should the issue continue after an Animal Control Officer's visit, please let us know.
