A. No person shall keep or harbor a dog which howls or
barks in violation of this section.
B. It shall constitute a violation of this section if
the howling or barking occurs continually and is audible beyond the
property line of the premises on which the dog is located:
(1) For more than five minutes between the hours of 10:00
p.m. and 8:00 a.m.; or
(2) For more than 15 minutes between the hours of 8:00
a.m. and 10:00 p.m.; or
(3) For a shorter duration than the hours cited above,
but on more than five occasions within a given ten-day period if attested
to by complaints from two or more separate properties in the Village.
C. The provisions of this section shall be liberally
construed to prevent excessive, unreasonable and unnecessary noise,
so as to disturb or annoy a reasonable person of normal sensitivity.
D. It shall be a defense to such violation if the owner
of the dog proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the only
reason that the dog was howling or barking was that the dog was being
provoked by a person or was otherwise being incited, or was doing
so in the course of acting as a guide dog, hearing dog, service dog
or police work dog.
