This disgusts me more than I can even begin to type. i mean how can a dog tell you if they are in pain or distressed!!!!

What makes it worse is NO DOG IS UNTRAINABLE ONLY OWNERS and dogs can be trained not to bark in circumstances it shouldnt. Training is hard work it takes time and dedication but for me de-barking is a lazy, disgusting, way to treat a dog and should be illegal unless surgically required for the dogs health.
