The Laguna Beach City Council in Orange County, California, passed an ordinance Aug. 8 regarding its enforcement on excessive dog barking and other safety-related issues for domestic animals.
The council voted unanimously to streamline sections of its municipal code to establish how long a dog’s barking would be deemed a public disturbance. The council set the limit of 30 minutes of uninterrupted barking or one hour of intermittent barking within 24 hours.
