wondering My chi(bianca) is 3lbs and has the loudest bark the tone is horrible does anyone know about debarking is this painful for pet or dangerous Its been goung through my mind latley |
aww please don't do that to your baby not only does it stop them from barking but crying or making any sound at all it's like removing your voice box please find a diff way to help your baby. |
Yeah, please don't do that to your fur baby. There has to be another way to solve the barking. Talk to your vet about other training techniques or find a book from a good reputable dog trainer. I am sure somebody on here can help you find a way to cure the barking, just be patient. |
My former sister in law had this done to her shelties...they still bark but it sounds like a silent raspy bark...You really don't want to do this to your poor little one...They actually burn a hole threw their trachea.. OUCH! |
IMO it's a cruel and sadistic practice. I would rather see someone surrender a pup to rescue rather than do this if they aren't willing to bring in a trainer to try to stop the barking.:( |
I would say don't do it.... I had a sheltie debarked. First of all, he had complications and coughed for the rest of his life. Also, it did NOT stop him from barking. It doesn't silence the barking... just makes it sound different. It was even more annoying, actually. As the years went by, he learned how to cope and make his bark louder. So it's totally not worth putting your dog through. I would never do it again. I'm working with Phoebe (4 mo. old yorkie) to train her not to mindlessly bark. She will occasionally bark when we are playing, and we don't encourage it. I'm pretty sure there are ways to train. Try some "Dog Whisperer" on your baby! Do the "shhhh" and if it doesn't work, do the "bite" thing (gently of course, since he/she is tiny)... it seems to work pretty well. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about. Anyway... hope this helps...I know it's annoying to have a barky dog! deb |
what about a bark collar. |

I guess the question to ask is..... If you decided your children were too vocal......would it be ok for them to undergo dangerous surgery and lose their ability to communicate forever? Part of being a responsible Pet owner...is protecting them. They deserve your love and respect.....just lilke the rest of your family members. There are very good training programs available. Try talking to your local Vet...perhaps he could recommend a good Trainer. Otherwise....there are tons of books and Videos available that might help you! Good Luck! Francie |
:animal-pa A bark coller an a 3pound dog I don't think they make them that small. I would try a diff. postive training. Good luck and please Do Not debark.:animal-pa |
No way please dont debark your baby, it's cruel and awful to put a little dog through that, when there are other options available. (eg: training) |
Here is a link to a good article on retraining barkers: http://www.clickersolutions.com/arti...nicbarking.htm I hope you find it useful! |

With all the resources available to us as dog owners, I would think surgery would be out of the question. In my opinion it is cruel and the easy way out for lazy dog owners who don't want to invest the time and expense to work with their dogs. My Nikko is a yapper but I would remove my own voicebox (hmm, my husband might like that ;) ) before I do anything like that to him. Try to do something to distract your dog while he's barking, like clapping your hands loudly or shaking some pennies in a can while you say "NO BARK". Then when he stops barking reward him for being quiet. After a while they start to get it. No dog ever stops barking for good, after all it is their only way of communicating vocally, but with patience and persistence you can get this behavior under control without having to go under the knife. Good luck to you!!:) |
PS I have three children that serve this country my daughter is on her way to Irac not one uses drugs all work guess not debarking them was smart |
