No Barking At The Dog Park: Owners Unaware How To Ask Dogs To Act Less Like Dogs

One dog park in Canada is under siege by complaints that the dogs that play at the park are too noisy. The City of Halifax put up a courtesy sign and residents were baffled at how they expected the city's dogs to comply.

Resident Andy Bowers tweeted: "The Mime for Canines class I am offering is almost fully booked" while Sean Joudry said: "Please do not use this area if you can’t make your dog less like a dog.”

Sean Joury photoshopped this sign to spoof the existing one.

Since the sign has gone up, complaints have reportedly subsided but no one is sure if that's because of the sign or if residents realize what a ridiculous request it is.

City Spokesperson Tiffany Chase said that if more complaints come in, they will look at relocating the park all together.
