Dr. Kathy Gaughan, assistant professor of clinical sciences at Kansas State University's Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, points out that "the surgery stops the barking, but it doesn't address why the dog was barking in the first place."Gaughan notes that visitors to her clinic who request debarking are usually looking for a "quick fix". Gaughan states that, commonly, those who seek debarking live in apartments, or have neighbors who complain.Gaughan also counts "breeders with many dogs" among those who most often seek convenience devocalization. However, Dr. Gaughan does not agree with those who claim the procedure is cruel, stating "Recently, some animal advocates have asserted this surgery is cruel to the animal; some countries have even outlawed the procedure. I do not believe the surgical procedure is cruel; however, failing to address the underlying factors is inappropriate."
Some breeders seek the surgery in order to limit or diminish noise levels for personal reasons ranging from convenience to prevention; some breeders even seek the surgery for puppies prior to going to new homes.[citation needed] However, the fundamental flaw lies within the dog owner's capacity to make appropriate decisions based on their ability to properly provide and care for their breed of choice, which includes taking into consideration living conditions.[unbalanced opinion][citation needed]
Most dogs can be taught to offer more acceptable behaviors in lieu of barking and other noisy behaviors. It is important to remember that dogs may make noise while playing, when excited, stressed, bored, under or over exercised, and for any number of other reasons. Dog owners need to make educated decisions about the breed(s) and breed mixes they choose to bring into their homes by doing research on the history of the breed(s), the breed today, and the necessary requirements for the breed.
