How do I convince my parents to let my dog inside my house?
My dog wants to get in so badly that sometimes he scrathches at the door and cries so much. My parents seriously wont let my dog inside at all. I keep asking them but they say no because they say that he will be to wild even though he is as mellow as you can get. It seems like the only reason is because my dad thinks that he is to big. he's only a puppy though. Please give me some tips!

How can I convince my parents to let me have my dog inside the house while my parents are insisting that I keep the dog in a kennel?
Dogs are pack animals, and it's cruel to leave them lonely in a kennel outside especially since weather affects a dog like a human. If it must be in kennel is heated or shaded and airy? Your poor dog is likely miserable. If you can't reconcile this issue with your parents he would be better off with a different family.However dogs do like their kennels when they're inside. They are Den animals, like foxes. If their kennels are clean with clean blankets and cozy you can train them to stay in their kennel, but they can still be near you.Your dog needs regular baths and flea treatments, grooming of the coat and nails and even having his teeth brushed. He needs regular and frequent exercise that means more than once a day. Your dog needs regular veterinary check-ups . Your dog needs to be spayed or neutered .He needs company and play. In short it's like having a child with all the responsibilities of children. If you are not providing your dog these things even though he's kenneled outside you are not a good dog owner already.If you if you are really devoted and dedicated dog owner you will try to find a way to have your parents compromise over the dog such as letting him stay in at night in a kennel near your bed. You would not leave a child out by himself all night and dogs are vulnerable as well.if you cannot meet all these things and get your parents on board with these ideas you should probably find your dog another home.
How to convince my parents to let my dog stay inside?
We have a chocolate toy poodle named Armani that is about 12 weeks old. We left last night in an emergency to New Mexico because of a family member in an accident, and planned that my brother and his girlfriend would take care of Armani. We came back at 5 AM and my brother was fuming, saying that he put Armani in his room to go to a nightclub and when he came back he found out that Armani had desperately tried to scratch his way out under the door, practically murdering the carpet. First off, he was supposed to watch the dog and feed him, take him outside to go to the bathroom, etc. He wasn't supposed to leave off to a NIGHTCLUB and lock my dog in his room. That was uncalled for and he was NOT supposed to do that, therefor it was his fault. Armani is still a puppy and when he agreed to take care of him we expected him to do exactly that. Secondly, the consequences were AWFUL. Armani's paws were bleeding from so much irritation and scratching, and my parents were convinced he was destroying their home purposely and they told me he has to go outside. WTF?! It's not the dogs fault he was locked in a room in the dark with no food or water for 4 hours! I would try to get out too! My parents keep thinking that we can't leave him alone or else he'll tear up the house, and that therefor he has to go outside. Um, NO NO NO. That's not the case. He's a puppy, it's EXTREMELY hot (nearly 120 F) where I live all year round, he'll most likely die of heat stroke at his young age. He's still learning and can and will be trained, and is undergoing that process right now! To make it better I suggested that I make dog gates somewhere in our house with tile for him to be in while we leave so that he can get used to being alone for a few hours. My parents said no. When I asked them why not, they said it was too late and he was already thinking it was okay to scratch up carpets and that he MUST go outside. Again, WTF?! Why can't they just shut up and let me HELP THEM?! The dog gates WILL HELP, and he WILL LEARN, and my parents are denying that offer. They don't have to do anything and it is technically MY DOG (I'm 13) and I should be able to choose what to do with him, yet it's still no. Tell me how to convince my parents that dog gates and proper training is the way to go, not throwing him outside!
How can I convince my parents to let me have a lap dog?
Your situation reminds me of myself, so let me be frank with you. (I got my toy poodle at age 16. I, too, struggle with anxiety.)First, some things I need to point out:Every household has a limit in terms of how many pets they can support, including time, attention, money, etc. It could be that your parents feel they have reached that limit.A lap dog is still a dog, can still pee and poop and vomit in the house, still needs exercise and training, and can still have behavior problems like any other dog. Some “lap dog breed” dogs have no interest in being a lap dog. My toy poodle, while lazy and sweet, is not really a cuddler.Also, not all dogs will help your anxiety. Not all dogs will instinctively know how to comfort you. Mine doesn't. In fact, he came with a lot of anxiety and needed my help much more than I needed his. He knows when I'm upset and he tries to protect me by growling at other people and guarding my purse. Well-intentioned, but not helpful. It stresses him out. You can't put this on a pet dog.Those are the reasons to reconsider getting a dog. I'm sure I don't need to tell you the good things!So: persuading your parents.The best way to convince them is to prove you’re dedicated. You have an advantage: you already have dogs. Take over feeding them. Take them on walks. (Lapdogs need walks. Best get in the habit now.) Become the person primarily responsible for their day-to-day care.Do your research. Prepare to be as responsible for this dog as possible. My parents never got a dog; they just allowed me to get a dog under their roof. Save your money and be willing to be at least partly responsible for costs. Food, grooming, vet bills etc. aren't cheap.Finally, be patient. I campaigned for a dog for pretty much my whole life. My parents wanted to be sure I could handle it, that I could be responsible for another life. Being a good kid in general (working hard in school, not arguing, etc.) will help, in addition to what I already said.This is a long answer, but it's what I would tell myself five years ago. Persistence pays off! Five years ago, I would never have thought my parents would agree to a dog. Now…
How can I convince my parents to let me buy a dog?
I don’t know how old you are but if you’re younger than 18, I do not recommend it. My reasons are as follows:You will take care of it at first but then you’ll get busy and your parents will have to take care of a dog they never wanted.You will take care of it until you go to college and then your parents will have to take care of a dog they never wanted.Dogs are expensive. I just spent $200 on my cat at the vet and nothing was wrong except he needed his annual shots. Dogs are more expensive and get into more stuff than my 18 YO lazy, arthritis ridden cat.Dogs need to be taken out for a walk at least 2 times a day. Are you willing to get up extra early to walk the dog and then walk him/her about dinner time EVERY DAY-What do you plan on doing with the dog when you and your parents go on vacation. Kenneling a dog cost anywhere from $30 to $100 a night depending on the size of the dog and the kennel you pick.Dog food is not free. Can you afford to buy dog food? How about the leash? Do you live in a house with a yard for the dog to run in? Are you going to be the one to housebreak the dog? What about flea treatment? Heartworm treatment if you live in a location that requires that? These are just some of the things I think about. If you have the time, patience and money to take care of this dog yourself, then you have the time and money to move out of your parents’ house and have a dog they will not have to take care of financially, etc.
My parents won't let my dog inside?
You don't say where you live, like what city and state to give an idea of the weather the dog is enduring. If you can't say where you live, will you say what kind of low temperatures and what kind of weather do you get there? Does the dog have overhead shelter from the rain when he is outside? Some things to know about the German Shepherd coat and outside dogs is this: If the dog has been outside all along, he has developed quite a heavy winter coat due to the cold night temperatures. Bringing him inside the heated house now with all that coat he has would be the same as you coming in to a nice warm house and leaving your winter coat on, all zipped up! Do you know how uncomfortable you would be after about 20 minutes? If the garage is attached to the house, that is all the shelter your dog needs with the coat he has now, any warmer than that and he will be miserable. Just give him an old blanket to curl up on to protect him from the hard cement floor and he will be fine. Don't re-home him, if this is the life he knows, then he is perfectly fine with the situation. The German Shepherd coat is one of the best for most types of cold weather since it is a double coat with stiffer outer guard hairs to shed off rain and snow and the downy soft undercoat to hold warmth to his body. It is one coat type that closely resembles the wolf's coat and we all know they live outside all year long with maybe a den or cave to go in for shelter but it won't be heated either. They could buy him an Igloo dog house which is some type of plastic but holds in body heat but he may never want to go into it so it could be a big waste of money. So another option that may help the dog is to get him another German Shepherd pup for company and to double your home protection. EDIT: DO NOT USE A FURMINATOR ON AN OUTSIDE DOG! LEAVE HIS COAT INTACT.
How do I convince my parents to let me keep my dog?
That kind of depends on why they are asking you to get rid of it. Did you just walk in with a new puppy one day or was it a family decision for you to have the dog in the first place?I am a mum - and lucky for my kids - I am a mum who loves animals. That explains why we have so many of them. Even so, there is a limit to how many street waifs and strays I can cope with. It has never mattered one iota how much my son or daughter promise that they will be responsible for the newcomer, it always falls to me in the end.So there is that to consider too. If you were allowed a dog on the promise that it would be your responsibility, are you living up to that promise?Are you taking care of your dog properly, walking him, feeding him, grooming him, training him?Is the dog causing a nuisance to your parents in some way? Incessant barking, chewing, digging up the garden, peeing or pooping in the house? Is your dog aggressive, dirty, smelly, farty?Deal with these issues and prove to your parents that you are taking your responsibility seriously.
