Is Calling 110 for Noisy Dogs Effective? Is It Illegal?

Dog-related noise disturbances are considered a civil violation, and calling 110 (the Chinese emergency number) can be effective. If a dog's barking disrupts sleep, especially at night, the police are likely to intervene and take steps to stop the barking. However, it's advisable to first communicate with the dog owner and try to resolve the issue amicably. If that doesn't work, then you can consider contacting the police.

Calling the police about a dog causing a disturbance is definitely useful. If barking in the neighborhood prevents people from sleeping late at night, then the police will respond. They will typically arrive within ten minutes, and, following the information provided, knock on the door of the dog owner. They'll ask them to take measures to stop the dog’s excessive barking. Many residents keep their dogs on balconies or patios, and when they bark, especially large breeds, the sound is amplified in the quiet of the night. This kind of noise pollution impacts the sleep of multiple households and the police will address this issue.

Before contacting the police, it is also recommended to contact the property management company first to see if they can resolve the issue. Often a formal complaint will result in the property management sending security to deal with the noisy dog, preventing the situation from escalating to needing police intervention. However, if the dog owner is uncooperative, then reporting the issue to the police is the next step.Exclusive offer:Pet Breeds
