Dog Management /Policy

 

Our  Dog Management Policy (PDF) recognises the responsibilities of dog ownership and includes defined exercise areas, complaint handling, dog fees, control of dogs, dangerous dogs and other issues.

 

Dog Behaviour / Barking

 

From time to time, you may experience difficulty with your dog barking for no particular reason, and also experiencing bad behaviour. Council has put together some information which may assist you in overcoming these problems.

Three factors influence dogs showing behaviour problems. These factors are:

  1. Genetics
  2. The dog's experience (ie rearing & training)
  3. The environment (including the owner)

However it is difficult to assess which is the most significant factor influencing the problem in any one particular case.
