摘要：Barking dogs, both roaming and owned, are regarded as a nuisance throughout New Providence. With
most dogs being owned for protection, either as watch or guard dogs, it is apparent that many people keep
dogs specifically to bark. This observational study of 551 dogs, in 14 areas of greater Nassau, showed
that confined, barking dogs constituted the single largest group of dogs (37.6%) observed at night. A
smaller percentage of unconfined (48.6%) than confined dogs (68.5%) barked at night. Almost half
(45.2%) of the dogs observed were unconfined. The study indicates that confined dogs constitute the
majority of barking dogs and so are the major cause of the nuisance of barking at night.
