A. It is unlawful for any owner to fail to prevent his or her pet animal from disturbing the peace of any other person by repeatedly or continuously barking, howling, yelping, or whining, or any other unprovoked noise, whether the animal is on or off the owner's property.

B. No person shall be charged with a violation of this section unless a minimum of one written warning for a separate violation has been given at least seventy two (72) hours prior to the issuance of the summons and complaint or penalty assessment notice (if applicable). An owner shall be deemed to have been issued and received a written warning as required by this subsection if the warning is personally served upon the owner, posted on the owner's premises, or placed in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the owner according to the last address given by the owner to obtain a dog license, or to such other address as may be on file for the owner with any government agency.
