If you have not signed a No-pet clause, you should know that the landlord cannot force you to get rid of your dog because of excessive barking. Each state has its own laws of course, so be sure to check your rights with your dog if the landlord threatens to evict you because of barking. But be aware that it is best to train your dog not to bark for no reason to avoid conflict. On the other hand, put yourself in the place of your neighbors, there is what is called nuisance dog barking, and hearing a dog barking non-stop, especially at night and when you have a baby for example who wakes up easily …. is not really acceptable from a neighbor !
