Make sure you have talked to the owner of the dog about the problem. They may not even be aware of the problem and it gives them a chance to fix it.
If the issue is not resolved, report the barking dog to Council by calling 03 9433 3111 or emailing nillumbik@nillumbik.vic.gov.au. Please include your name, address and contact details so that a member of our team can contact you.
