  1. That’s completely inhumane and whatever counsel members suggested it they should be ashamed and asked if we can have them get that procedure!!! Great Pyrnese are amazing dogs and loyal, loving, gentle giants.

  2. This is stupid and upsetting. It is natural instinct for a dog to bark. Get over it or get some ear plugs. If birds chirped outside of your window are you going to come have a tree chopped down? Stop being stupid. Let nature be.

  3. Wtf I've never heard of debarking in my life im 33 years old. that's disgusting. Thank God that man won't harm he's dog in such cruel ways. Ugh I hate it when I find out new horrible things that happen in the world

  4. I’ve got a neighbor who has a really small dog that makes me crazy.

  5. Bark collars work wonders, would y*u rather that or * put it down?

  6. This is fucking ludicrous. People actually sue neighbors over a dog parking. The dog isn't up 24/7. And the audacity of the police to actually issue citations. I live near woods. Every dam night there is some animal that screams bloody murder starting 10:00pish on and off for a few hours. Guess what we deal with it ear plugs, noise cancelling headphones etc. This man should pay the fine and move as far away out of that town as possible. Heck live out in the country side where your neighbor is 2 miles away. Absolutely rediculous how trivial/petty America has become towards one another. I need a drink 🍻

  7. Don't mutilate your dog. Just put him IN your own home.
    It's not fair to disturb others with your possessions repeatedly.
    That's rude, inconsiderate, and a passive aggressive act of control over the surrounding neighbors.

  8. I would never do that to my dogs the neighbors can kiss my ass

  9. You can train a dog to not park w/o a surgery… you just have to take care of your dog and not leave it outside constantly to bark.

  10. Just shut your dog up. Aint nobody trying to hear that all hours of the day and night. You got a dog not the neighbors. Get a bark collar or keep em inside.

  11. It’s animal violence!!! ☹️

  12. I wish I didn't even know it was a thing to "de-bark" a dog.
    What in the Actual F
    Maybe some doggie training would be better than ripping out it's vocal chords?

  13. People are ridiculous. If you want 24/7 quiet, maybe go live in the woods under a rock. Dogs bark…same goes for children playing loudly. As long as the noise isn't in the middle of the night, and all done during the day, then just deal with it!!!!!

  14. Dog is adorable. Seems a sweet animal. Hopefully the owners are able to resolve by trying a bark collar and some tender love and care. They are lucky to have the dog, even so they seem not so lucky to have the neighborhood complaints and fines.

  15. the obvious solution is to call the Dog Whisperer..

  16. Typical of most lazy dog owners that let their dog annoy everyone in town. If they aren't barking nonstop they are pooping in your yard so you can step in it and track it everywhere you don't want it. But the dog owners thing everyone just loves their snuggly little affectionate fuzzy wuzzy.

  17. I'm a dog owner and my dog is trained not to bark. The owner of this dog is a bad owner as well as an inconsiderate dog owning neighbor to all his dog to chronically. I side with the victim in this, if the owner is not going to train his dog to stop barking. I side with the victim is suing to have the dog debark. If the owners are ordered by the courts to remark the dog and they don't the victim and the lawyer will request a removal of the dog order, which the judge will order local animal control with a warrant of the dog removal. The owners will never get their dog back because if the dog is adoptable, the animal control will have this dog sent to an undisclosed animal control or rescue group in another state where the dog will be placed up for adoption. But, if the dog has a bad temperament or food bowl or two aggressive behavior or if it just can't be adopted out because it barks too much and no one wants it animal control will put this dog to sleep. Either way, this dog owner will never get his dog back once the judge orders and signs the warrant for this dog’s removal. If the owner hides the dog a wary to keep it from being removed he’ll be arrested and charged with the crime of failing to obey the courts and judges orders. If the dog’s owner does not dig his legal hole deeper, he needs to obey the debarking order and debark his dog or it be saying bye bye to his dog!

  18. This is terrible…..world going to hell in a hand basket for sure!

  19. If you got a loud dog don’t move near people or prepare to move! Your dog isn’t more important than my peace. Have some sense

  20. Such a beautiful dog, let the dog be a dog!

    He has a wonderful bark also.

  21. Well the court just screwed up, I think there is more to the story, the dude is probably a bad neighbor, and others are just finding excuses to get at him.

  22. Bring the dog indoors or drop it off at a doggie day care where it won't be bored.

  23. Poor sweet pooch just needs a better owner who will train the dog to stop barking.

  24. its sad but sometimes you do have to have control over your animals disrupting other peoples peace. I think the solution is training and a bark collar, also having a good relationship with the neighbors is good too

  25. This is fucking disgusting. Can we rip out the vocal chords of humans because they are more obnoxious than dogs. I'm SICK OF FUCKING HUMANS

  26. Dogs are supposed to bark that's harras and animal abuse

  27. I own a Great Pyrenees and they are very loving sweet dogs! Yes this breed barks a ton! Its part of owning a Pyrenees there guardian dogs. When my dog barks a lot I put her in a crate inside for a couple hours or I put a soft muzzle on for a hour, she understands when she barks a lot and understands why she has to go in a crate or get the muzzle. She definitely doesn’t bark as much as she use too, just need to keep training and my Pyrenees lives inside. She still barks a lot inside but I always try to quiet her down with toys and treats too, they like lots of attention and love. She’s like a giant lap cat definitely NO surgery that’s inhumane even a bark collar is not good, they have sensitive skin just more training and attention should be good.

  28. Good for the owner. Beutiful dog.

  29. I have a pack of Great Danes, they back to let me know things. The one who stands on the koi pond bridge lets me know if there is a big fat bufrog that's looking to dump a thousand eggs in my pond so i can come kill it. They let me know when a wild boar is on the other side of the fence, or if a car is coming down the road, or if a UPS truck pulls up to the gate.
    If someone jumps the fence they won't bark much, they're be too busy gnawing and chewing on ya.
    I prefer a woof woof woof to a squeaky yip yip yip.
