I have a 9 year old kelpie with a very loud bark. I have tried very many methods of training to no avail. I am now considering having her debarked but am very concerned that no harm will come to her. I gather that most vets in victoria do not perform this procedure. I am about to go into a retirement village that accepts dogs but have been warned that if there are any complaints I will have to give her up which would devastate me. I would appreciate hearing from anybody who has had any experience with dogs that have been debarked and if they would recommend my doing so or not.
