WINNIPEG – New “no excessive barking” signs have gone up at Bonnycastle Dog Park in downtown Winnipeg.

It seems more people have been outside with their dogs because of the pandemic and that can mean more barking.

One dog owner who uses the park says residents of a next door apartment building yell down at them in the summer to keep their dogs quiet.

Excessive barking is defined by the city as barking or howling that goes on for at least half an hour straight.
