Dog barking driving away possible tenants

Hi! It's been a little over a month since I've been on Bigger Pockets. My hobbies have kept me busy. My PM told me that prospective tenants may not make an offer on a rental due to a barking dog adjacent to the property. I googled the city and dog barking and this comment came back.

[b]Barking Dogs: Cochise County has an ordnance prohibiting barking that disturbs the peace. Violations of the ordnance may result in citations being issued and repeated violations may result in the animal(s) being impounded and the owner being required to attend a hearing in Justice Court.

I don't want to take this to court but not having a tenant is driving away $1000s of dollars from my pocket.

Has anyone had issues like this and how did you handle it?

Thx,
Tom
