It’s been awhile since this reminder went out to our members. Britton Farms residents are reminded that “frequent or habitual” dog barking is not only UN-neighborly, but also a violation of the Hilliard City Code.
The second paragraph in the code requires pet owners to “immediately” clean up after your dog when walking through the neighborhood.
Please be a responsible pet owner; it’s been said there’s no such thing as a bad dog–only a bad owner.
