I am very responsible and can take care of myself well and I want to get a pet dog - how do I convince my parents to get me one?
There are several reasons why your parents may not want a dog:Dogs cost money.They are a lot of work.They need long-term commitment.Some people are allergic to dogs.Some people don't like dogs.The costs of a dog include:the original purchase priceveterinarian billsfoodobedience classesother things that the dog needs, such as leashes and toysOnce upon a time my parents are too in a category amongst the people who hate dogs or any other pets. its hard to convince them for dog …bacause its a responsibility.the thing me n my sister did was-explained my parents why we want a dog.i told them about all of the advantages of having a dog.i answer the concerns that my parents have about getting a dog.first we find out before convincing my parents to have a dog is what they think about having a dog. The more i find out what their concerns are, the better i put forward my ideas.and yes , Don't nag about getting a dog. It will only irritate your parents.Getting a dog has to be a family decision. If your parents really don't want a dog, your family should not get a dog. It would not be fair to the dog.at the end, we are able to convince our parents for pets,i have a pet now…her name is mini.and my mom loves her more than we did, or may be more than us. now the view of my parents towards having a dog is completely changed .they treat her like their own bacha…the thing my parents used to buy three..now the count is increased by +1.

What is a way to convince your parents to get another dog?
First understand dogs are expensive to raise and keep. If money is tight in your household then a dog may not be a luxury they can afford. If not, then we can part ways with this argument.Next, understand the time needed to care for a dog. They are extremely dependent and a poor choice of pet for a youth if the parents don’t want to be involved. Are you ready and willing to take the dog for his walks, rain, snow, or shine, plus play time, plus housebreaking and training time, plus conditioning time, plus grooming time? Think carefully how this will affect your social life now and in the future; a dog will live twelve years at least and you have a lot of life changes ahead of you, including a social life that will only expand. Do extensive research about dog ownership. Buy a book on dog ownership, read it. Be honest with yourself and don’t let passion make your choice.Now sit with your parents and show them how you have covered all the bases. Wow them with your knowledge of what to expect and how you have already planned to deal with the trials and obsticals of dog ownership.Honestly, your parents need to want a dog as well because they will inevitably be a part of caring for it.
How do i convince my parents to get me a 3rd dog?
Honestly, the best way to convince your parents is to not say anything at all. Parents HATE to be nagged! Try to keep up your grades, keep your room clean, and help out around the house. But don't kiss up, it's obnoxious. But you really need to try and see things from your parents point of view. Your last puppy didn't work out, that's discouraging and dissapointing. So why would they do that all over again? Puppies do cost money, not only the upfront payment but vet bills, food, and flea,tick and worm preventative. Not to mention bathroom breaks at 4:30 in the morning anf the whining and crying. As tempting as puppies are, believe me they are tempting to have, your parents might be more willing to get an older dog. That's right, adoption! There are over 2 million great dogs waiting on homes. And you don't have to go get a mutt from a shelter (although shelter dogs do make the best dogs. Many of them are put down every day!) If your looking for a specific breed you can search for breed specific dog rescues in your area. For example, my mom is the intake coordinater for a golden retriever rescue. You should at least look into it. Many of the dogs are grown, already house trained, evaluated, and have had those pricey puppy shots, and they are spayed/ neautered. If you do end up with a puppy please avoid backyard breeders and puppy mills. Find a reputable breeder and always spay/neauter your dog. Best of luck!!
How do I convince my parents to let me get a husky dog? I'm prepared to care for it.
Along with Ken Parsons answer I want to add…Tell them to buy you a big pooper scooper so that everyday you can go out and scoop up his humongous piles of dog doo that will cover your yard and you will step in.A fly swatter for every member of the family for the summertime if you are late in scooping up the poop.A supply of plastic bags for when you take it out on walks, because every dog loves to poop anywhere but in his own back yard. You will use the bag to pick up the poop from your neighbors yard because those neighbors are looking out the window watching.$54.00 a month for flea medicine or else the house will get infested. $45/month for heart worm medicine or it will die. Yearly vaccines at the vet about $75.00. Food about $75–100/month depending what quality you get. $45 for the groomers when he stinks to high heaven or you could give him a bath in the tub, then you’ll need to hire a plumber or buy some drano when the pipes get clogged with all of that hair.Aw sweetie…having a dog is wonderful…I hope they get one for you. But its alot of work and they need a lot of attention and care. Maybe you can get one when you become an adult.
Convince parents to get me a big dog?
ok I have been wanting a Newfoundland for years now but the problem is my parents don't like big dogs. The reason they don't like them is first my mom doesn't want them to scratch her floors but we only have hardwood floors on the first floor and they are mostly covered with rugs. Secondly because they shed and drool a ton but i will be willing to clean up after it. Third because one of my moms friend had 2 big Labradoodles and they were bad!! like she let them ruin her house and so my mom believes that all big dogs are like that. And lastly the cost but I am willing to get a job and pay for it. I really want one!! I have depression and i think that it would be great because I currently don't do anything all day so this will get me back into a routine and also it might help. Thank you
How do I convince my parents to let me get Watch Dogs 2? The biggest problem is that they will probably ask why it’s rated M and I don’t know what to say.
Be honest with them. You know as well as I do it’s because of violence and sexual content.When Modern Warfare 2 came out and I wanted it, I explained to my parents about that very infamous mission of killing civillians at an Airport. I told them that I would be sensible, if they wanted they could occasionally check on me to see what was going on and that it was not going to change me.Be honest and your parents will be more likely to trust you. If they don’t want you to play it after that, respect that, it’s not the be all and end all of your life.
How do I convince my parents to let me adopt a dog if my mom has allergies?
I am allergic to cats, dogs and mice among other things that are not relevant to this question. Long before we found out that I am allergic to the typical pets I grew to love cats and dogs alike. Growing up we had pets. I learned I was allergic to cats when I was in college when I had a reaction to my cat. Did I get rid of her? No I did not. I had her until she had to be put to sleep. Did I get another cat eventually? Yes I did. My husband and I even got another cat to keep the kitty I had when we met from being lonely when we were not home. We found out I was allergic to dogs and mice just after we had our youngest. My husband and I had already put down a deposit for our dog. Did we still get our dog? Yes we did.You see, my husband and I have two children. Both of us were raised with pets and believe that pets are beneficial for children to have. They can teach responsibility and can offer comfort and companionship as kids grow. I couldn’t imagine not giving my kids the experience of having a pet.Do I suffer? I would be lying if I said I don’t. But, I take Zyrtec every day and it helps.Is it worth it? Yes, it is. Because my children love their pets and even at 2 and 4 they help feed them.So, to get to the point, what can you say to your mom to convince her to let you have a dog?Assuming you are old enough to take on the majority of responsibilitiy of the dog I recommend first looking into what dog ownership really entails. There is training, feeding, bathing, picking up dog poop, vet visits and so on. I would talk to your mom and let her know you intend to take care of the dog and perhaps outline what you would need help with (vet visits).I noticed in other answers that people mentioned “hypoallergenic” breeds. The honest truth of the matter is that consistently bathing (like weekly) and brushing ANY breed of dog (or even a cat) helps with maintaining allergens. Also, if you have carpeting in your home I would recommend offering your mom to take over vacuuming if she agrees to let you get a dog and doing so at least once a week to keep allergens out of the carpet and agree not to allow the dog on the furniture.Good luck and remember that if she says no you can always get a dog when you get your own home. That being said, with your mom being allergic, at that point I would still plan on following a regimen to keep your pet consistently bathed, brushed, off the furniture and carpets vaccumed so she feels comfortable in your home.
How can I convince my Muslim parents to let me get a dog?
I saw this thread showing why Muslims can have dogs and how they should treat them with respect. http://www.islamicconcern.com/dogs.asp It also quotes some "holy book" scriptures. Also, have your parents show you where in the book it spells out that a dog is unclean.
