To me, "docking" sounds like cutting or seems painful.
Please explain.

You have 2 choices to dock them. You take them to the vet and I think they cut them off to a certain joint of the tail bone. And the second option is to use a rubber band. What the rubber band does is, it cuts of the circulation of the tail and the tail eventually falls off. Thats what it says in my corgi book
. Which it does look like it would hurt but to me, I think they look better without tails. But if im wrong, please correct me!
