I really can't believe you want to purposely alter your dogs bark for life because of your now current living situation. I have a poor dog that no matter how hard she tries she can't bark. I thought maybe she had been debarked before I got her. The vet checked her out good and said she hadn't been but doesn't know why she can't bark. Most likely it's a result of a respitory infection she had as a puppy. It's really sad. She tries so hard to alarm us that she hears something and at times nothing but a whisper comes out not even her usuall sqeak. Yes it's convient for sneaking her in (rarely do I do that, very rarely) but it's not good if she's into some sort of danger and can't alert us. Therefore I don't take my eyes off of her when we're outside. People think I'm probably a little phsychotic with this dog but when you can't hear them it's really scarey. I just think it's a bad idea...once you take it away you can't put it back. Please don't do this for own personal sneakiness and selfish reasons, think about the dogs well being.
