I had a friend that got her shelties debarked. If the dog barks after the procedure chances are the dog will regain the ability to bark again. You have to keep them from barking for a couple of weeks. It isn't very effective, and I highly doubt you will be able to find any vets willing to perform such a procedure. Good luck to you. I would hate the thought of losing my boy because of his barking. Is he barking because he is lonely while you are gone? Maybe you can get someone to come to your place to watch him while you are at work? Or maybe drop him off with a neighbor while you are working? There are lots of ways to keep him without such a drastic measure.
