Debark surgery

I've never heard of this. It's legal? Holy shite. Only a total a-hole would even consider it.

recommend is as a last resort.

A last resort to what?

It's not even 30 minutes long, it's not quite the butcher job some on here are making it out to be. It was literally 15-20 min.

Thoughts?

If you do it then a mob should come in your house, rip out your vocal cords, and ask how you like it. Wait moot point.

As is cutting off a dog's tail

Meh, one of these is my pups tail. He's perfectly fine.

That's a little gruesome.

One thing I never missed on my dog were his dewclaws. Those things are useless and dangerous.

That question would only make sense if we ate our family pets. Or chose to cut off any part of the animal that annoys us because we are too lazy/stupid to properly train an animal.

LOL

1) What's it matter if its a pet or a wild animal, its one of gods beautiful creatures.

Is It Inhumane To Debark Dogs?

A: No. People with little or no experience raising naturally noisy and talkative breeds may tell you this. People with breeds like Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties) can tell you that this procedure is simple and that it saves lives of dogs that might otherwise be dumped in the pound for their barking. Debarking is a more simple procedure than removing the uterus in spaying or removing testicles in neutering.

Q: Do people debark just to avoid training their dogs?

A: The majority of people who debark have run out of options and are trying to be good neighbors. We are not talking about people who are irresponsible and leave their dogs out all night or ignore chronic barking. We are talking about people who understand that the piercing bark of a Sheltie, even on limited occasions, can be enough to cause a war in built up residential neighborhoods. Animal rights interests have painted debarking as a cruel quick fix when in fact it is something no owner does lightly.

Again this was a little 3 lb yorkie, not a big golden retriever, these things have brains the size of a peanut, good luck training them, we're pretty fortunate the other 2 we have aren't yappers. Id call me investing $850 was me being a good neighbor and not looking to start a fight.

Im sorry but you guys in here crack me up talking about humane treatments of dogs but dont give a shite while eating steaks of chickens......

LOL, it communicates just fine with the other 2 dogs we have so a) you're wrong and b) you realize it still makes a noise when it barks right or are you ranting for no reason other than thats what the internet is for, a place to come let off steam on subject you have no knowledge on?

The dog still yaps, its just not a piercing bark like before. Again I just posted a link from the national animal interest alliance, that's a pro animal group in case you didn't know and they gave you a lengthy Q&A on why its fine and why its an easier surgery than neutering which damn near everyone does.
