A recent thread about Barking and some dogs abilities to do so for hours on end with no hope of quite in sight, has inspired this Poll!

I am wondering.... Would you debark?? If the situation called for it?? Or would you Part ways with your Barker?
(assuming that you have exausted all other measures)


1)You were going to be thrown out of your home/apartment...

2)Dogs are only allowed if they are quite and your only choice is to rehome the dog or debark.

3)You have been fined by the city for disturbance, and issued several warnings. They have now issued a final warning and the next call will result in removal of the animal by animal controll.

4)You have moments where you or your partner feel true anger towards the dog as a result of the endless barking. And the safty of the dog is in question, maybe due to your partner or even yourself.

5)You are about to loose your mind, no joke... the dog is driving you crazy! No matter how much you love it, a person can only take so much!


I know that debarking was invented for a reason... some Dr. did not just decide that it would be cool to screw with a dog and take its Bark away! I know it has a place and in many situations is even in the dogs best interest... but thats a whole other debate.... I am just curious.... Would you part ways with your Baby, or debark?????
