This issue needs to be fixed ASAP. I am a dog owner and it is my responsibility to make sure my dog is not disturbing the peace. Blame the dog owners, not the canine! Fix this ASAP!

Funny. I call the cops and animal control in my area, and they're here very promptly. Maybe you should give that a try. The issue comes simply to this: there's nothing illegal about a barking dog so long as it's in "normal" waking hours. If it's after 11, call the cops. If it's before 6am. Call the cops. Call until they get annoyed and finally do something about it. But i have never *NEVER* had them not respond within an hour to a dog complaint. Normally they're very good about this here in Torrington.

but remember, while it is, indeed very rude, most of the time there's nothing illegal about it.

Hope that helps!

Woof, Woof

You are wrong....there is an ordinance in Torrington that does not allow for "nusiance" barking no matter what time!
Call animal control and keep calling until the problem is solved!

It's not just one house on Pineridge Rd. There are a couple houses in a row that have dogs that bark. When we walk down that street you can here them from the road barking.

I agree that owners should be held accoountable for their noisy animals.It is not the fault of the animal but the owners. How is it that these people do not hear this noise in their own yard. We should record the barking and play it loud all nite in front of their house. I bet they would be calling the police to stop the noise!!!!!

problem solved!
