Constant Barking Can Be Avoided: Offering guidance to dog owners

This report, produced for Defra by David Appleby MSc CCAB of The Pet Behaviour Centre, complements the leaflet 'Is your dog barking too much?', providing local authority Environmental Health Officers and dog wardens with guidance on advising owners of noisy dogs.

Whilst the leaflet 'Is your dog barking too much?' is useful as a first step for the owners of noisy dogs, the guidance in Constant Barking Can Be Avoided provides Environmental Health Officers and dog wardens with more detailed information on the possible reasons and solutions for nuisance caused by barking dogs.
