Noise pollution
Barking dogs
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, your local environmental health department should be able to help.
If you have dogs that bark - help is available, officers at South Tyneside Council can advise you on what you can do.
