I made a choice to get my dog because I needed them at the moment and they mean the world to me and I will exhaust every option that I can before giving them away.
As I said before I have read a lot of stuff about it and I have talked to a few vets who say that the only thing that upsets people is the way that it sounds. It doesn't hurt the dog in any way, it simply disturbs our view of what a dog should sound like.
I have tried the pennies and I have tried spray bottle and nothing works. It just makes him afraid of me and that breaks my heart more than hearing him squeak would. I just asked for personal experiences about debarking.
I don't care if I am a college student or a homeless person. I made the decision to have my dogs and I made a commitment to be their owner for the rest of their life. As long as they are not being harmed then I will do anything in my power to see to it that they stay with me. As I said before I am trying to work out other options, but that you so much for the input. |
Hi there,
you mentioned that debarking does not "harm" them. I disagree . It is unatural to do this procedure. I am certain this has psychological effects on a dog !
It may not physcially harm them, however does harm them is other ways .
you want to do what is right ? You want to be together , and say that your commited to your dogs, then I suggest that you look into moving off campus. I feel that it is a very selfish move to have these precious Yorkie's debarked. You say you love them , and will do anything for them, and want to stay together know matter what, however, IMO , your NOT thinking of what is in the best interest of their needs at all. You are thinking of what is in the best interest of YOUR needs . This is what is most disturbing.
KNowing full well, that you were not suppose to bring dogs onto campus , and you did so anyway, their was NO problems at all until these beautiful little yorkie babies grew up and found their voices. Which Yorkie's do BARK. these are little dogs, Little dogs BARK! BIG surprise ! Now you want to debark a yorkie for doing what comes naturally to them??? That is wrong ! and selfish. How dare you ! think that this is ok , and feel like this is the right thing to do ! only because you got yourself in a situation that could have been prevented in the first place!
If you love these babies as much as you say you do then please do the right thing! Stop thinking of yourself , and do what is right for these yorkies. These yorkies deserve better . REHOME them. Sorry, but I feel that this is a imature , selfish act on the owners behalf
