Barking Fine
Have any of you received a fine as a result of your dog barking?
I received a complaint letter from Animal and Bylaw services today. My dogs bark inside the house if someone comes up to the door or walks by on the front lawn (I think this is fair). They will also occasionally bark in the back yard at a magpie or whatever. It is not incessant and we stop it immediately whenever we hear it. I'm not saying they are perfect but I think it is reasonable.
I'm looking for stories from people on either end of the fence. I want to be a good neighbour but I also don't appreciate having anonymous complaints from the city.
How many warnings and steps does it have to go through before I start getting fines (I've read the rules on the City's site, I'm looking for an actual experiences)? Has anybody here actually received a fine?
