People living next door to barking dogs face the challenge of trying to work with their neighbors to get the problem resolved in a fair manner.
Complicating the problem is the fact that dogs bark as a means of communication, as well as a way to ward off unwanted intruders to their property.
At the same time, pet owners have a responsibility to ensure their pets don’t become local nuisances or a threat to those who aren’t the owners.
A recent court decision in Oregon has confirmed an extreme solution to a long-standing dispute between neighbors over one couple’s dogs barking continuously.
In extreme cases, dog owners can face the prospect of having to have dogs undergo a surgical procedure to “debark” them to cut down on excessive noise. On the next page, learn how an Oregon court resolved such a dispute and the lingering ill will that continues to fester between the parties involved.
Oregon is as bad as California
if the dog isn’t able to bark how will the cops be able to execute that family member
It’s not a training issue… It’s flock guarding breeds doing their job…
My dogs (Lab & Mastiff) don’t bark unless there’s an intruder, be it a person or critter in the yard. They don’t bark at the yappy little fuckers next door.
Where is the outcry from PETA? Oh, wait, they are part of the same Liberal loons who made this decision.
Oregon court full of morons
This needs done to all liberals
Maybe it should be the court judges the lose their vocal cords.
NO! This is wrong!
That Liberal poisen has infiltrated the western coast states…..to a point that they don’t respect the constitution of the United States but eagerly try to dissect it for fit their agendas
