Per City Code Section 8.2.03, it is unlawful for a person to keep, harbor, or have custody of more than three (3) dogs or three (3) cats or a combination of (3) over the age of 6 months at one time.

No. Owners of all dogs and cats within the City limits of Cloquet are required to keep animals from running at large, this includes all City parks, per City Code Chapter 8.

Section 8.2.05 of the Municipal Code states in relevant parts that: “The owner of any dog shall prevent the dog from committing any act in the City of Cloquet which constitutes a nuisance.” In the case of barking this is defined as disturbing the peace by excessively, habitually, or frequently barking, yelping, howling, or crying.

If a neighbor’s dog is continually barking, the first action you should take is to discuss the pet’s unacceptable behavior with the owner of the pet. If the pet’s behavior is not modified, please contact the Police Department non-emergency number 218-384-4185.
