It is perfectly normal and reasonable for animals to make noise from time to time, just as children make noise when they play outside. In Brisbane, animal noise such as a barking dog, a squawking parrot or the trilling call of a guinea-hen is considered a nuisance when it unreasonably disrupts or inhibits activities at adjoining premises or nearby residential land.

What do I do if my dog is barking excessively?

When dogs bark excessively, there is usually an underlying issue. Before you can successfully manage a barking problem, you will need to identify the cause. You may need to do some detective work to obtain this information, especially if the barking occurs when you are not home.
