Owners of nuisance dogs can be fined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A barking dog can disrupt neighbours and the community. Here is what to do if you are bothered by a noisy dog, or if your dog is barking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If your dog is barking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been notified that your dog is barking, here are some common reasons and solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Boredom<\/strong> \u2014 ensure your dog gets regular exercise and has toys to keep it occupied<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> \u2014 consider consulting a vet or animal behaviourist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loneliness<\/strong> \u2014 dogs are social animals; provide interaction and company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Response to stimuli<\/strong> \u2014 reduce the triggers that cause barking (such as visual barriers at the fence line)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should you do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Talk to the owner. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>They may simply not know their dog barks when they&#8217;re away. You can speak to them directly or use the council&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc.assets.ionatahosting.net\/uploads\/2026\/05\/barking-dog-letter-template.pdf\">letter template<\/a> if you&#8217;d prefer to put it in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 Make a general complaint.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re uncomfortable approaching the owner, contact the council. We will assess the complaint and reach out to the owner on your behalf with advice on managing the barking. There&#8217;s no fee for this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2014 Lodge a formal complaint.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If the problem continues, you can escalate to a formal complaint (a fee applies). You&#8217;ll need to fill out two forms \u2014 available from the council:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Formal Complaint Form<\/strong> \u2014 your details, the dog&#8217;s address, and the nature of the complaint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Record of Occurrences Form<\/strong> \u2014 a log of dates, times, and likely causes of the barking over 14 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Submit both forms and pay the fee at the council&#8217;s Customer Service Centre. Animal Management Officers will then investigate and may take formal action against the owner if a noise nuisance is confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more on why dogs bark and what owners can do, see the council&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc.assets.ionatahosting.net\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Noisy-dog-factsheet.pdf\">Noisy Dog factsheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What happens next?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Council will investigate the complaint. We may speak to the dog\u2019s owner and, if the problem continues, formal action may be taken under the<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.tas.gov.au\/view\/html\/inforce\/current\/act-2000-102\"> Dog Control Act 2000.<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excessive barking isn&#8217;t just annoying \u2014 it&#8217;s often a sign the dog is unhappy.
