County Proposes Ways To Curb Dog Barking
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. -- Some area dog owners may have to put a muzzle on their pet's barking. We've learned Sullivan County is considering ways to keep noisy dogs from bothering neighbors.
Kayla Malone knows a dog full of energy can be an earful for the entire neighborhood. Her pup, Brinkley, is guilty of barking occasionally, but she tells me some neighbors are worse.

Sullivan County commissioners are starting to get phone calls and emails of similar stories.

If the resolution is passed, concerned citizens could take their case to court, where offenders could be fined $50 to $100.
