I don't think this is a good idea--debarking. It seems cruel to me.
I am going to say this in the nicest possible way: maybe now is not the time for you to have a little dog in your life. Students move constantly and they have schedules that can be varied and unpredictable. I know when I was a student, having a dog (of any kind) just would not have worked for me. You said already that you have been "sneaking" your dog into campus. While we have all done this occasionally, I don't think it is a good practice on a regular basis.
I don't doubt that you love your dog. But think about his needs. Dogs, like children, thrive on routine and stability. |
