And if create american leave movie to help enjoyed trainer and rude this city. I have a permit and have had to have all dogs rabies vaccinated 4 of them are Champions. I keep them indoors when I go to work, the their crates and the goldens are the bathroom with a gate. dog sitter comes at around 2 to let all dogs out to romp and play for at least hour and get fresh water. These dogs are never left unattended outdoors where they could be a nuisance barking dog. I have a rude neighbor who calls and reports the dogs if they bark ALL Animal control officers come and give me citations based on this one individuals complaints I am frustrated. I have had to appeal tickets and the tickets were dropped due to no evidence. Wish I could move but property value is way down and I cannot sell at this time.!!! I live North and it's a mixed bag here with regard to dog-friendliness. general impression is that the northeast and pacific northwest are better. At any rate, they recently amended the law that you can have a dog outdoor eating area if the restaurant owner allows it. Most hardware stores and all the pet supply stores allow dogs. There is one large fenced dog park near me, but I stopped going because people brought dogs who behaved inappropriately. Out the county, there are rarely leash laws and most dogs are allowed to roam freely. town, there are leash laws but the enforcement varies greatly by town. Where I live, leash laws are rarely enforced, which is really a nuisance because people allow their dogs to run off their property and onto the street. I have had lots of problems with off leash dogs charging and barking when I am out with dogs. As I type this, I am listening to neighbor's dog bark incessantly because they've yet again left it outside alone the back yard while they go out on Friday night. Parks and hiking trails all require that dogs be kept on a 6-ft leash, but I am pretty good at finding out of the way areas of the park where I can allow dog to run off leash. I've spent years working on his recall that when we do bump into people he comes back to me. I think 99% of the problems with dogs are related to owner education; the vast majority of pet dogs around here are completely untrained and the owners that do try to control the dog do using the outdated dominance-based type of training that they on tv. I live Australia. Different states have different regulations, but state dogs are allowed off lead parks unless sign-posted otherwise. other states, it's the opposite Dogs are not allowed off lead on footpaths any state, as far as I know, and most states have a restriction on how close dogs can be to playground equipment. Dogs must have access to water at all times and, provided water is provided a crate, crates are legal. I believe dogs are allowed on public transport if muzzles and or a pet cage. Most restaurants and cafes allow dogs to sit outside, but animals are not allowed inside restaurants, cafes, shopping centres, or pretty much any inside public space. re: Animal control officers come and give me citations based on this one individuals complaints That's very sad. It shouldn't be that way. Your neighbor is harassing you. city western USA, you can get a fine for nuisance barking, but the person who submits the complaint has to have a video with sound recording documenting X numbers of minutes hours of almost continuous barking. That's a fair way to handle it. And I think it should have to be documentation across multiple days. You want to avoid situations where you have a nasty neighbor who does a recording on accident day which is not typical. Re nuisance barking versus nuisance neighbors. I've had several clients who were a similar situation. We tape recorded their dogs and were able to use it as proof that the dogs barked sporadically
