If moving is not an option, I agree with what Donna posted to you. Normally I would be firmly against debarking, especially as a convenience for the pet owner. But, it does sound like short of moving, you've done everything you can.
I've known of only one other case where I thought debarking was kind of okay. This was an elderly lady with an older poodle, she had since the dog was a pup. The lady was going into a nursing home that would allow her dog but only if the dog never barked. It would have been devastating to separate the owner and dog at that point. |
I'm in agreement it should NEVER be for the convenience of a pet owner but in this case I would be for it because rehoming in this case wouldn't be an option for me. I feel you've done everything possible to control the barking and if you have to debark I see nothing wrong with it as long as it's not for convenience.
