Its [Bylaw Enforcement page](<https://www.barriere.ca/p/bylaw-enforcement>) says it does not provide Animal Control Services. The [Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) dangerous dog service](<https://www.tnrd.ca/services/community-services/dangerous-dogs/>) covers the TNRD electoral areas only. For property in a municipality, the TNRD says to contact that local government.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Call the District's Bylaw Enforcement Officer at 250-672-9751, or email tbuchanan@barriere.ca, and ask what options exist for an uncontrolled animal.\n2. If someone is in danger, call 9-1-1. The police non-emergency number listed by the District is 250-672-9918.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The [Nuisance Bylaw No. 134](<https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=968eb94a-807e-4ae1-9575-5290b5164ebf>) (section 6(a)) says no person may allow an animal under their care to cause an unreasonable nuisance. A nuisance ticket is $100.\n- In District parks, dogs must be leashed. See the dog leash rules answer.\n- The District's bylaws set no muzzle, enclosure or sign rules and no dangerous-dog fee.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/p/bylaw-enforcement","title":"Bylaw Enforcement, District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.tnrd.ca/services/community-services/dangerous-dogs/","title":"Dangerous Dogs, Thompson-Nicola Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=968eb94a-807e-4ae1-9575-5290b5164ebf","title":"Nuisance Bylaw No. 134 (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=7f83b9ec-8827-4a40-9014-f17bb94a0898","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 95, Amendment (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/p/fire-department","title":"Fire Department, District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=a14a8163-2017-4f41-b948-f5088bf4eabb","title":"Council Report - Uncontrolled and Uncontained Dogs, Feb. 18, 2013 (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 1 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 5 are recorded as not set."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/barriere/dangerous-dogs/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/barriere/dangerous-dogs.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/barriere/dangerous-dogs.json"}}
