Description
Sageway is normally a quiet family neighborhood road however for months now the owner of a Shepard dog has allowed the dog to bark every day around 6:40AM, 3:30PM and off and on between 5:30-9:30PM. This is becoming a big issue which needs attention by animal control. There must be an ordinance concerning nuisance dog barking in Torrington. Please advise.

It is not unheard of that a dog barks at things when he is outside. He could see other dogs, people or even bears that may cause this "nuisance" activity. Maybe the person who originally filed this complaint should confront the "neglectful" owners if this bothers them so much. It seems that whenever someone has a problem they get on the internet to complain about it, instead of trying to resolve it like adults. And, by the way, I live in that neighborhood and it was never quiet. How could you possibly expect it to be quiet 24/7. Many residents have dogs, kids, and activities which they are involved in that create this "nuisance" noise problem every day. What is even worse is the out of state cars that speed up and down our once quiet neighborhood.

Greetings opinionated replyers... I used this website as a vehicle to ask for advice, and clearly that's what I got. Those of you who live in the neighborhood obviously notice that the barking has subsided a bit since the original complaint was written which is wonderful and I am glad the owners have recognized the issue. Nobody wanted to call the authorities or have to make for an awkward situation with neighbors. Dont get me wrong, when push comes to shove where an awkward neighborhood intervention is needed, we are afraid of pursuing it In the meantime since the barking has not been as bad it we will hope the problem is being addressed. The 6:30AM outbursts are awful and late a night. During the day it is only the 2nd shift folks who have to listen to it.
Kids make noise, people occasionally have gatherings and dogs bark! Come to Sageway and listen to this Shepard and you will clearly be able to tell the difference between normal noise and obnoxious, intrusive barking from a neglected dog.
