    Hidden out of respect for those that don't want to know

    It removes some of the tissue from the vocal cords.

    They can still bark, or at least the one dog I’ve met that had it done to it could, it just sounded more like a cough than a bark.

    It’s often looked down on as unnecessary surgery, as it does nothing to address why the dog was barking to begin with. There are some groups that support it, as it can be looked at as something that can allow the dog to be out in public without being considered a nuisance or as a procedure that can prevent the dog from being put down.
