A 'ruff' guide to problems caused by barking canines will be coming to Dover on Tuesday 19 May, from 1pm to 4pm, as part of a joint initiative with Dover District Council and Shepway District Council to mark Noise Awareness Week.
Members of Dover District Council's Environmental Health team will be at the pedestrian precinct to explain how barking dogs can affect neighbours. Complaints about barking dogs contribute significantly to noise complaints made to the Council. Canine behaviourist Pippa Ducat will be on hand with advice and help on how to keep dogs happy, and quiet. There will also be an opportunity for dog owners to have their pets micro-chipped for just £10.99 by a local kennel, and Dog Wardens will be there to offer advice about other aspects of responsible dog ownership.
