I would use duct tape!

My parents adopted an ex-show dog Collie who is "debarked" and the sound she makes are 1000 times worse than barking. It's awful.

Duct tape is cheaper, and it comes in many fashionable colors now.

I didn't even think of staples! She got in so much trouble last night for jumping on Vegas. I had her submitted on her back and I made Vegas sit by her head and the little turkey still tried to attack him from a submitted position! She was so mad!

My father-in-law's 4th wife had her little dog debarked. I think it is mutilation. Go with the duct tape to match her outfit!

Ruggles is 4 now and doesn't bark nearly as much as he used to. We kept putting him in time out in his crate when he would go on a barking jag. He either caught on or out grew the behavior! He is our only barky Bulldog!
