Position Statements

Debarking and Devoicing

SPCA advocates for the use of reward-based training to manage excessive barking in dogs.

Although barking is a normal behaviour for dogs, and an important means of communication, excessive barking indicates as underlying issue. Dogs bark excessively for numerous reasons including boredom, excitement, distress, territorial defense, fear and anxiety. SPCA recommends working with a qualified behaviourist to manage this behaviour.
