Noisy canines will be defined as those that bark for more than 30 minutes on two consecutive days.

The city already has nuisance and “noise laws that can be used to address annoying and disturbing noises such as constant barking.” But officials said those laws are sometimes difficult to enforce. Read the rest of this entry →
