They bother everybody else. There is an epidemic of barking dogs disturbing numerous people in Corbin and something needs to be done about it. I was made aware of the extreme noise level the first night my wife and I spent in our new residence right in the heart of Corbin. That was a couple of months ago before we had moved back here from Henderson. The next day I drove out the street to see where the noise was coming from and I discovered a dog lot a couple of blocks away that had several dogs in it. If the barking dogs were that loud that far away, how disturbing would it be for those in the neighborhood who lived closer to them? I talked to others who told me the noise level was awful and how the dogs kept them awake at night. I wondered why these people had not made enough noise themselves at City Hall to have something done about it. The city does have a nuisance law. Then last week, on the first night we spent in our new home after moving here, I was awakened early in the morning by what I thought were dogs in my bedroom. I looked out our bedroom window and the neighbor behind us had constructed a small fenced area for two puppies, right under our bedroom window. The dogs were crying and barking with sounds loud enough to disturb the whole neighborhood. I became very upset knowing we could not live with the noise. I called city hall and asked what could be done about it. I was told about the nuisance law. But why should people in the neighborhood have to get authorities involved? Do these dog owners not have any consideration for others? Apparently not! Over the years I have had several dogs. We loved them. They were great pets and we never let them disturb our neighbors. Years ago when my mother was bedridden and still at home there was a neighbor who had a barking dog that barked day and night. It was hard for her to get proper rest because of the noise. The dog owner was cited several times. The noise would stop for a short period and then a few weeks later the barking would start again. This went on and on. I was told the city took action on the dog lot owner some time ago. It may have worked for a while but now the noise is back. Now it should be eliminated once and for all. The noise below my bedroom window is still there but it has only been a week since it started and I\u2019m hoping the owner will realize the disturbance the puppies are causing. You think our neighborhood is the only one with this nuisance? No way. I have talked to several others who are experiencing the same situation. The city needs to come down hard on these inconsiderate people. If barking dogs are disturbing you, call the city and complain. Where I moved almost all of our neighbors had dogs but they kept them inside and walked them on a leash. There wasn\u2019t a nuisance problem. The same should be true here!"}
