You assume that a nuisance barker barks because it is dissatisfied. Maybe that is even is true in 99% of cases. A small number of dogs actually find barking in itself a pleasant and rewarding experience. Noise won't kill you, but lack of sleep sure might.

croatian sheepdog?

Mudi?

I'm sorry teacup warriir, but could you clarify whether you are opposed to debarking IN ALL CASES??

Ummm i'm sorry but in my opinion desexing has a lot to do with convience. Puppies are easily prevented by containing your dogs when you are not in direct control of them. If people actually bothered to appropriately contain their in heat female dogs and entire males, there would be no BYB "accidental" matings.

Sibe?

I take it you don't desex your dogs then? Most people on here agree debarking should only be used as an absolute last resort. Do you believe the dog is better off dead? Have you lived in the vicinity of a problem barker? Do you think people should just "deal with it"- being a dogs that barks a good 8 hrs (at least) of the day and possibly night? Do you think people in surburbia should not own dogs? interested to hear your views...
