You could easily hire a trainer to train the dog not to bark for the price of the surgery. It's also illegal in some areas which should tell you something. |
Good point - never thought of it this way....it really doesn't stop them from barking and if you have ever heard a dog that has had this procedure done you would think twice for sure.
Many here have tried the coins in the empty soda can taped up and when the dog barks you shake the can and say a command such as "no bark".
When the dog is quiet then you give them a super treat.
What I have done with Izzy is during the day when she is quiet I will tell her she's such a good girl for being quiet and give a little treat...need to tell them too when they are doing something right.
