My rescue is a screamer.
My neighbor asked if I'd consider debarking.
I medicate him for his separation anxiety have worked with several trainer and behaviorist.
Some dog will be barkers.
Derik's ex-wife's dog came to me a trained alerter she would spin and bark incessantly, on top of that she was poorly trained other than to alert & wouldn't listen to me.
I won't lie, I considered debarking her after the first trainer refused to work with her.
I persevered though, she left me finally house broken, much better behaved and stopping barking on command- after a year: however even in her new home (I only took her in on a temporary foster basis) she is still an alerter-her new home wanted her and her altering ability.
