Frequent or excessive barking is NOT just a nuisance. It's an emergency situation!
"Anyone who believes frequent barking is properly classified as a "nuisance" ......" [is mistaken].
"When the essential character of your existence is transformed and the quality of your life is slashed, that is not a "nuisance." That is a full-blown crisis. It is an emergency that warrants immediate action." (Mixon, Barkingdogs.net).
