Many of the ordinances in the region are general prohibitions against excessive whining or barking.In Westchester,the City of New Rochelle ran into trouble with its law in 1997 after a resident challenged a citation.A city judge ruled that the ordinance was unconstitutionally vague6 because it did not include details about time of day and duration of barking,and the city changed the law in 1998.
Many of these ordinances go back to the 1800s,said the New Rochelle corporation counsel,Bernis Shapiro.Theyre just carried forward and they dont get changed until an issue comes up.
In May 2006,Hillsborough Township in Somerset County passed an ordinance to specifically address barking,but no complaints have been filed since then,said Lt.Bill Geary of the Hillsborough Police Department.Other New Jersey towns,including Bloomsbury in Hunterdon County and Manville in Somerset,considered such ordinances but withdrew them after residents complained that they would be unenforceable.
As for those who contend that a barking dog should be a low priority,Councilman Fusco said,If the dog was next to your house,youd sing a different song.
Mr.Fusco said he was confident that the ordinance proposed in Clifton would be supported by his fellow council members.At the same time,he knows that some residents may object.
But David Axelrod,a groomer at Furrs N Purrs on Valley Road,said he did not think the measure was tough enough.
