I have personally seen a dog that has been debarked. It does not back anymore but HACKS! Only thing is, tons of HACKS sweets will not help it.

Have you tried other less inhumane temporary solution e.g. bark collar - http://www.pet-super-store.com/pet-supplies/bark-collars/

give it a try at least this will only serve as temporary measure until your dog get accustomed that it means no barking.

whatever you do, just do it with the dog's best interest at heart. If u have to debark vs abandon, go for debark and keep the dog forever.

Ideally, u should choose a dog best suit ur lifestlye and living environment. since now it is already too late for that because no one will ever know if a cute puppy will grow up with barking issues, take all measures to keep it with u.
