Everyone should be aware of the new Animal Tether Ordinance which was recently passed in Escambia County. Pet owners should review the ordinance carefully to ensure they are not in violation of the new laws. This ordinance covers such subjects as animal age, shelter conditions, tether construction and length, weather conditions, and more.

FYI: Nuisance Dog Barking
Silence Is Golden
In many cases, nuisance barking is caused by dogs which are neglected or in distress. If you experience nuisance barking from a neighbor's dog, please report it to the local animal control unit.
If you are a dog owner whose dog barks excessively, please take steps to train your pet to not nuisance bark. There are many safe and humane products on the market which control nuisance barking. Consult your local pet store for the best training method for your pet. Your neighbors will appreciate it.

My favorite barking control device, which I personally found to be very effective, is the PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent. This unit works automatically by emitting a high-frequency sound each time a dog barks within it's range. The ultrasonic bark deterrent is safe, humane, silent to humans, weather resistant, and designed to look like a cute, little birdhouse.
Not only can the PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent work on your own dogs, but it can also work on any other dogs within range.
