Season 1 | Episode 4

Groomer-Fearing Maltese and a Water-Obsessed Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Freedom of Bark

Massachusetts bans the devocalization surgical procedure and sets the precedent for others to follow

As dog owners, we often get frustrated with the lack of communication we have with our dogs. But even without a common language between human and canine, our dogs say an awful lot to us through their bark alone. So imagine if that sole vocal form of communication was taken away.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree?

I get questions about barking almost every day. And unlike other common behavior problems, with barking it’s almost always the same problem and solution. What I tell people is this – barking is natural! It’s one of the most important ways dogs communicate. Energy is their main form of communication, but some barking is normal. It can be a form of warning or protection; it can be to let others know “this is my territory;” and it can even be a form of excitement, such as when a dog barks when he wants a ball.

Pet owners now facing $100 fines for barking dogs

Animal Services officers last year wrote nearly 20,000 notices to pet owners who had violated city barking dog and leash laws, but there was no financial penalty.

On Tuesday, the City Council voted unanimously to put some teeth in the ordinance after learning $2 million could have been raised if $100 citations were handed out. The $100 citations will now be issued and stiffer fines will be given habitual offenders.
