This is what it said in the article I cited: Q: Do dogs suffer emotionally from debarking?
A: It is a huge myth to suggest dogs are emotionally disturbed by debarking. Debarked dogs can bark. Even if reduced sound comes out of their mouths, they don't seem to notice at all! Debarked dogs that are not being constantly disciplined for barking, in fact, tend to be much happier dogs!
I wonder if it is really true?  |
hmmm, i think thats sounds a little odd. Doesn't it seem like they would have a VERY sore throat for days, if not weeks after the surgery.
I think it would hurt a human to have it done, wouldn't it hurt a dog too? I think its all very inhumane. Barking is the only way for a dog to really communicate with us. I think its unfair, and inhumane, no matter how its done. JMO
