Dogs can and do penetrate the perimeter. Other dogs, animals, and people come and go at will through the electronic boundary. Barking dogs are the responsibility of the owner as well. Many townships, cities, and villages have ordinances to control nuisance dogs, so if barking is persistent and offensive, it should be reported to the local police department for investigation. An irritation to dog owners and non-dog owners alike is the mess left behind by wandering dogs.
Responsible owners clean up after their dogs.
Laws also require that dogs be licensed and immunized against rabies. License renewal period is December 1-January 20 in most counties, with a penalty assessed for late renewal. Clermont County Commissioners declared an emergency this year and extended the renewal period for the full year without penalty.
