Here’s what we need to know
If a dog barks too much when he is in his house or in the yard and disturbs the neighborhood, the neighbors have right to reimbursement for the damage suffered by that noise that constantly and incessantly makes itself heard? Here is what the Italian law says, defending on the one hand the right of animals, but on the other also establishing responsibilities for the owners.
It often happens that there are dogs that bark continuously, day and night, disturbing the public peace. The causes can be different: maybe they left him at home alone and he suffers from separation anxiety and is afraid. Or he is suffering from stress. Sometimes, he does this only to protect his territory from possible danger or intrusion.
Pet owners must always make sure not only to ensure the well-being of Fido, but also to make sure that the puppy with its behavior does not disturb the neighbors. Behavioral experts give useful advice to prevent the dog from barking in our absence or in our presence.
The constant barking of a dog can represent a real disturbance of public peace, especially if this behavior occurs at night, when people have the right to rest well and without external annoyances.
Sometimes for the quiet life you leave alone or speak directly with the neighbors to find a suitable solution to preserve the well-being of dogs and people. At other times, however, the neighbors may turn to the judge. And get a refund.
Dog that barks too much, the order of the Cassation that will make history
Recently, the judges of the Court of Cassation sentenced a man to compensate his neighbor for the damage suffered by the dog’s frequent and noisy barking, according to article 844 of the Civil Code.
The noises produced by the dog, in fact, were beyond the limit of normal tolerability: this was compensable damage, which according to article 659 of the Criminal Code can also constitute a crime punishable with arrest up to 3 months and a fine of up to 309 euros.
