I'm not going to tell you no, they will squeal. Usually done at about 3 days (dependent on what their weight is), but not longer than 5 days.

On the other side, not docking can lead to other issues, like broken tails. In Europe it is not allowed anymore and they are finding that tails are being injured more often than not.
