I wonder if anyone that shows dogs will respond to this? |
I think there's better ways to handle barking dogs. That to me seems the easy and cruel way out. |

I feel it is very cruel and mean, dogs do bark for a reason, intruders, food, play mean mean................ |
I had a neighbor that had two debarked Shelties. It's like they had laringitis. In my opinion, it was just as annoying & very pitiful. |
OMG that's horrible! I would never do that! |
The breeder where I got Wobie had two debarked rescues. It was sad because all the other yorkies were barking, and these two were trying to join in with their little pitiful raspy voices. :( |
I think it is cruel mutilation. Animals should not be subjected to pointless mutilation for the convenience and comfort of the inconsiderate humans they live with. -O |
I never even heard of this until now. I would never ever do such a thing. :thumbdown |

Yuck! That's just wrong. |
I would never ever do that to my dog! It's the same thing as allowing to cut the vocal cords of people that talk too much |
I would never, never do that to any of my babies. Barking to them is their way to communicate. I have a barker but I find the easiest way to deal with her is to start playing and distract her from barking. Most times she had rather play with me than to continue barking. Sometimes I think she barks because she is bored. I think it is cruel and inhumane to debark an animal. If you don't like the barking I agree...find an animal that does not bark. Dogs are meant to bark. |
I have a "barker" in Mr. Simon and have never thought about debarking him. Instead I hired a trainer to train me how to control it. The way I see it dogs bark, that's how they communicate and to take that away so it's less annoying to people (or for whatever reason) is just plain abuse. |
I think of it like this; if your child cried too much, would you have their vocal cords cut? It is horrific and mutilating. There is ALWAYS another way. Almost every rescue I've ever taken in has had a barking problem and I've always been able to train them. I wish it was illegal in more states. Yay for New Jersey! |
