Talking doesn't help. CCC Animal Control doesn't help. There's not much to do for barking dogs. I filed a complaint, following directions. A letter went out. I logged all barking. I filed a second and third complaint. Logging all barking. I submitted a records request. Apparently the 4 small dogs - 2 mixed Pugs & 2 mixed Chihuahuas do not have a vaccinations or licenses on file. Following up with a letter to the Deputy Director, Roderick Golphin, there is nothing else that CCC Animal Control can do. There has to be more than one household that makes the complaint. The dogs run against one side of the yard/home (my side) and there are horses as our neighbors in the back. The other neighbors are too 'polite' or don't hear a thing. You know the saying 'Be a good neighbor'. Here's the kicker, I marked my yard to have the 'Lawn to Garden' conversion for the drought 'save the planet' landscape done. I need the utlities marked (call before you dig) with the flags. I placed a large sign on the gate, next to the neighbor's, where the dogs run & bark, that reads "Notice for Workers: The Neighbor's Dogs Are Left Unattended in Their Back Yard & Bark Non-Stop - Just Ignore". That should frost them. I am going to start to complain that I cannot get workers in my back yard 'cuz they think it is my dogs. I own 2 large rescue Labs. They don't bark at the fence, 'cuz I trained them not to. Belive me, if anyone thought it was my dogs barking, I'd hear about it, 'cuz they are 'BIG' dogs. Like I said 'Be a good neighbor'. CCC Animal Control is a joke. Let your dog license expire. Let your dogs bark. There is not much they can do to you. There is no reason to license your dog, nor get it vacinnated. CCC Animal Control does not enforce the laws 'cuz they don't have the staff. Call them, that's what they will tell you. No joke.
