Dog owners in Delaware could soon be forced to pay up if Fido doesn’t shut up.You could say some dog owners at Wilmington’s Rockford Park are barking mad over new legislation targeting loud and nuisance dogs."I think it’s fairly ludicrous" said Beverly Debell of Greenville, who was busy walking her two Schipperkes named Nettie and Lilly. Last week, House Bill 124 passed the Delaware House and Senate.
Instead it turns it into a situation where it becomes a nuisance especially if I have an issue with my neighbor next to me who may not like the idea that I have a dog that may bark on occasion" said Hall.There are many exceptions to the rule including animal shelters, vet clinics and pet stores. The civil penalties for excessive barking include first a warning. $50 dollars for a second violation, $100 for third and $150 for all violations after.
