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 |

I realize you were only curious about the debarking of dogs and only asked a question. I've never had a dog debarked (but my Jasmine would go on the list if I were thinking about it.... she can make your ears bleed!!).... Anyway.... good luck with whatever you decide to do... maybe you should discuss the procedure with your vet. |
I was not saying that you were a lazy dog owner since it is obvious you haven't had the procedure done. I was referring to those who have gone through the procedure. If you took my post out of context and as a personal attack on you, that is unfortunate but I am not sorry for posting my opinion. There was no need to get personal about me "shooting my brain, not my mouth" whatever that means. |
I believe that dogs that bark can be trained not to. View some of Cesar Milans videos, or go to his website for tips on this issue. It will take time patience and perserverence. But I believe it can be done. Figure put what sets him off, then re-create those circumstances while you are right next to him so you can correct him. Good luck. I don't think anyone called you lazy, they just gave their opinion on why one would get the surgery. |
thats how it goes to far its not neccesary to degrade someone to make a point I was just curios how it was done thats all bianca is not going to be debarked her bark is loud its a random question |

A debark dog sounded pretty? um.... Please don't do this to your baby. Like others said, it's taking away their voice box. What about when they really do need to bark and they can't because their debarked just because their owners didn't want to listen to it and work with them? I find no excuse for debarking a dogs. Im not trying to sound like a ***** either, so please don't take it this way, it's just that this is such an inhumane procedure. |
I have considered it with Rocco,I have tried every method out there and it DOES NOT work with him. He is very high strung. Dogs that are debarked still bark. It is just a lower tone. I have never heard of them burning a whole through their trachea. I think the comparision of debarking a animal to a child constant chatter, or however it was put is so far over the top and completly ridiculous. Maybe we should have our sons and daughters fixed at an early age too so they don't reproduce(note sarcasm) I have always tried to refrain from judgemental remarks,unless you have walked in the persons shoes. Calling someone lazy shows lack of education on the subject of debarking. |
I hardly think posting any opinion on any subject shows lack of education on anyone's part. The point of a forum is to express different opinions and learn from other people's experiences. Just because someone didn't agree with me, doesn't give me the right to judge them. The original poster asked a question about debarking and I said anyone who had this done was taking the easy way out. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it. I never said she specifically was lazy. If everyone thought the same way, there would be no use for forums such as these. If that opinion makes me uneducated so be it. I am done with this thread. Have a nice day!!:) |
Dont do it! I think it is really cruel to debark a dog. |
Have you tried the coins in a can...shaking a can that has coins in it when your pup barks? It works so well for me...Maddie just cringes if I shake the can. Now, all I have to say is, "Should I get the can?" and she'll stop barking. Good luck finding an answer!!! |
Your chi bianca is adorable(in your avatar), and so tiny!!!:p Anywho, I don't like the idea of debarking, but maybe there are some other options. I'm sorry If I couldn't help more. I wish you and your baby bianca the best!:thumbup: |
Connie, I haven't tried that. I will buy a coke tommorrow and give that a try. Thanks. |
