I agree 100% with Jan: if after exploring all the
training options, the choice becomes one of minor
surgery vs. getting rid of your dog, I would choose
debarking any day. To me, it is no different than
suggesting that a pet owner have her dog neutered to
see if that will solve an aggression problem. 

I have a VERY barky Pyr and it is a constant battle to
keep him quiet enough to live with -- mostly when he
is out in the yard but increasingly, when he is in the
house (which is most of the time). He is an excellent
guard dog so I appreciate what he is trying to do for
us, but I am not sure that the neighbors do :-)
