Very rude and uncalled for comment.
The dogs sound like their in great hands, she cares about them obviously and is caring for them well.... give her some slack. She's just asking for information and opinions. |

OP, continue to try everything that you can. I'm glad to see that you are looking at debarking as a very last option. I think some of the YT members have given you some idea of how unfair it would be. And perhaps you didn't think about those issues. Now after reading how some dogs react and how sad it can be, you'll decide it isn't the thing to do. I'm also happy to hear that your male is neutered.
It sounds like you will continue trying and I'm glad to see that. I truly think if you keep trying, you're going to find something that is going to work.
Good luck |
No, not nearly as harsh as debarking a dog would be! Crude? Whatever part you're referring to can't be nearly as crude as debarking a dog. IT'S A DOG. It's not a toy. IT'S A DOG AND THEY BARK.
And I didn't tell anyone to drink, use drugs or any other manner of illegal activity. I partied a lot when I was young but didn't abuse my body doing it. Some of us party with friends, dance, play and generally have fun so don't turn my post into something it's not.
I stated MY opinion just like everyone else and MY views are valid, just like yours are.
I would no sooner take away my beautiful dogs voice than I would my children's voices! The OP KNEW going in she wasn't allowed a dog, she brought this on herself and isn't able, for whatever reason, to properly train the dogs so they have to get a cruel operation to prevent them from barking? Seriously? And I'm the bad guy???
It's too bad you don't like my way of speaking but I'm not one for beating around the bush. This is NOT OK, IN MY OPINION, and we are each expressing our INDIVIDUAL opinions. Mine is not withheld because you don't like my tone.
