Dogs only bark if they are not happy. If dogs are barking persistently there is a reason for it.
If you are disturbed by barking dogs - first approach the owners.
If the dogs bark when they are left their owners may well not realise there is a problem.
If this fails, or you are not happy about approaching the owners, we may be able to help.
If you have dogs that bark - help is available, we can also advise you on what you can do.
