Barking dogs

A constantly barking dog can be loud and can disturb you or your neighbours. It could also be a violation of Ottawa's Animal Care and Control By-law (No. 2003-77).

Pet owners must prevent their pet from constant barking or causing other noise that disturbs people and the neighbourhood.
