Barking dog issues can be real nuisances and difficult to resolve. The best way to handle this is to speak with your neighbors. If this doesn't take care of the problem, you may contact us and file a formal complaint.

Should this issue not resolve itself and you call again a second letter will be sent.

If speaking to your neighbor does not solve the problem, contact Animal Control (209-984-1338) and inform them of the problem. It’s best to have another household in your area corroborate the dates and times of the barking.

Dog lovers say that a house is not a home without a dog, which is often justified for the loyalty and devotions dog demonstrates to its master. Dogs are naturally territorial and curious, that makes them the perfect pet for those who want to protect their properties from burglars and other intruders. Barking is a natural behavior for all dogs. Among the several ways dogs show their emotion, barking is the most useful.

Per FLCA Guidelines, barking dogs must be brought inside.  If this isn't happening, usually the best approach is to discuss the problem with your neighbor.  If that doesn't work, call the FLCA Site Manager or write a letter to FLCA (contact information).  The Site Manager and/or Board will work with you to decide what action is necessary.

Your local police department or the sheriff's department handles barking complaints because they are a violation of the noise nuisance ordinance.

We recommend the dog's guardian contact our Behavior & Training department for a consultation.

The first action you should take is to speak with your neighbor. You may be able to resolve the problem by discussing it with your neighbor. Your neighbor may not be aware that their dogs' barking is disturbing you. Dogs often bark when their owners are not home. If for some reason you are unable to resolve the problem by speaking with your neighbor, you should contact the Ombudsman's Office at (803) 929-6000 and file a complaint.

Dogs are natural carnivores and therefore should derive their protein from meat sources rather than grains. Unless allergy testing shows a verifiable and specific problem digesting animal protein (this is very rare) a high quality diet using meat protein is preferred. Cereal proteins are low in certain amino acids, animal protein is clearly superior. A complete animal protein contains all of the essential amino acids required by a cat or dog. Cats cannot thrive on a vegetarian diet at all.

In the world of possible systems (the state space for the system) two possibilities are neighbours if a change or mutation to one parameter can change the first system into the second or vice versa. Any two options can then be classified by a chain of possible mutations converting between them (via intermediate states). Note that there can be many ways of doing this, depending on the order the mutations take place. The process of moving from one possibility to another is called an adaptive walk.
