1128. Debarking a Miniature Schnauzer

Feb 25, 2015

This Schnauzer just barks as long as possible. The neighbours complain. The young couple wanted debarking. Yet they did not want debarking as it was deemed cruel. 

I advised them to use the "time out" method (put dog in a room for 10-15 minutes every time he barks) or "grip the muzzle and give a light smack, saying 'no barking' forcefully.

Finally the wife decided not to debark the dog.
