Show Notes
Delaware introduces statewide law to curb excessive dog barking, aiming to reduce neighborhood noise disturbances. The law, effective October 9, 2025, targets dogs barking nonstop for more than fifteen minutes or totaling more than thirty minutes in a day. Enforcement is handled by the Office of Animal Welfare and the Department of Agriculture, with fines starting at $50 for repeat offenses. The law was pushed by frustrated residents and ends years of tension between New Castle County and the state. Certain situations, like service dogs and working dogs, are exempt. The American Kennel Club is monitoring the law, concerned it may overlook normal dog behavior.
