Pup mills do it a lot, owners who fail to train or sometimes desperate people who have a resistant dog.
My Scoobers has separation anxiety he screams, devocalization was suggested due his issue. I put in effort in training, he gets 'medication' and I refuse instant bark stopping methods like shock collars.
Debarking can be a last resort for some with good intentions but it's so rare, most of the time its a lazy person's solution or that of unscrupulous individuals & vets whom take payment over animal welfare. |
