I'm amazed at how people are "shocked" that someone would declaw a dog. These are the same type of people who declaw a cat and see no problem with it. And, who are we to say it is worse for a dog than a cat? Someone really needs to ask the animals whether or not they would like this done. Can pretty much guarantee not a single one would want the pain, phantom pain, changed gait, arthritis, etc for the reminder of their lives.
To the person thinking about your dog - I can see where your frustration would lead you to consider this. The animals we can can drive us almost around the bend sometimes. I think its wonderful that you are researching the procedure first. There are behaviorists out there, perhaps you could do a phone consult with one in your area? Good luck!
