I found out about Debarking when I did a google search on help to help control barking. I really was going nuts but my little girl was a tiny puppy.
She does bark but not early in the morning and she wont bark in her kennel during the entire night. I could not judge a person if they had their dog debarked if they had no choice. If it came to being evicted or worse ,neighbors have been known to poison neighbor's dogs because of barking. I found an article on how vet's do it and it's NOT by ramming a rod down their throat. They give anesthesia and surgically cut or remove the cords. I dont really remember. It depends on the dog what sound they will make after this is done. Some sound like a squeek noise or a cough.Even though they make this sound ,it's not actually hurting them at all. It was not something I would personally do until I tried everything else. My little furball is only a little over 4 months old and she has had tremendous progress Another thing I would NOT buy for my dog. Its called a no bark collar. The collar transmits electricity and zaps the dog's neck everytime it barks 2-3 times. The dog is startled and it stops. After a while the dog will not bark once the bark is on even if it doesnt get zapped. I could not do that to my little one .
