I would never have it done, regardless of how much I had a dog bark. My Joey is a barker, if something scares or angers him, he will bark at it. I typically have to tell him two or three times to get him to be quiet, but he eventually does. He also has very severe separation anxiety, so I'm sure while my husband and I are at work he barks also. We do live in a house now, but before we bought it, we lived in a townhome with him, so we know how apartment life with a barker is. We still wouldn't ever have him debarked. |
Thank you for sharing your honest perspective. I'm sure living in a house with Joey makes his barking much less of a problem for everyone, but I hope his separation anxiety eases over time. Maybe it's the move?
