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.
How to Convince your parents to get another dog?
Your parents probably miss the dog as much as you do. I think three months is enough time to wait before getting another dog but your parents have made a valid point in that all the work of the new dog will fall on them with you in school. This may be too much on your mom right now. A new dog needs to be a family decision. Give your mom some space and discuss getting a new dog with her again in about a month or two. Don't even mention getting another dog for the next 4-8 weeks. Then maybe make a list as to the benefits of having a dog. Do something really nice for your mom and hand her the list along with a giant hug. Then see what happens.
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 does one go about convincing their parents to get a dog?
I’ve wanted a dog since I was 3, and adopted mine at 15. Here are some things I did:I spent a good decade learning about dogs to the point where I could identify most breeds on the street, could effectively diagnose small issues, and knew exactly how to care for and train a dog.We regularly dog-sat for one family and learned how to take care of a dog on a day to day basis.I convinced my younger brother to jump on the dog bandwagon virtually since he was born.I started researching nearby shelters and talking to them about what kinds of dogs would be a good fit for our family.I let go of any preconceived notions I had- my family wanted a big, fluffy brown puppy. We got exactly the opposite.I swore up and down that I would be the one to walk the dog, clean up its defecation, feed it, and bathe it. And I stuck to that promise- I have to bathe him today.I let my excitement show, visibly. Very, very visibly. I would scream in delight every time we saw another dog.Ultimately, the final push- I convinced my parents a dog would be great for relieving stress for all of us.Good luck!!
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 did you convince your parents to get you a dog/cat?
The way I convinced my parents, when I was in high school, to allow me to get a Husky puppy (Akio is his name) was to show them that I could be responsible and show initiative. To do this, I read about Huskies online and drew up a list of necessary materials to take care of the pup, a schedule I’d need to feed/walk/train/play with the dog, and also any important health concerns that may arise. Then, I cleared space around the house/outside to make it a good place for a dog that is known to be an escape artist (this may vary). Of course they were against the idea, but once I used actions to prove to them that I knew how to take care of the dog, they allowed me to go call my friend’s family who had a litter of them.Now you don’t have to brush up on a certain breed if you’re adopting, but before you adopt any dog you should read up on its temperament, training requirements/issues, shedding, health issues, etc… Not only will this help sway your parents into purchasing/adopting a dog/cat, this will also make it much, much easier for you to take care of your new family member!
How do I convince my parents to let me foster a dog?
Let me start off by saying money is not a problem. Both my parents have very well paying jobs, and save their money wisely. I have a passion to help animals, and am seeking to help more. I volunteer at my shelter already, and love the dogs and cats there, but it breaks my heart whenever one is sent in for euthenasia. I have a yorkie mix and a cat, both from the shelter, but they arent exactly both like they should act. My cat hates anyone but me, and she only lets me rub her chin, and I do everything for her. Such as playing with her, feeding her, talking to her. I also love my dog, she is a sweetheart, but she acts more like a cat. She wont fetch but once and then she's done, and the only trick I've been able to teach her is sit. She sleeps all day (granted she is almost 9) but I want a dog that would play fetch and go on long walks so bad. Fostering is a wonderful choice behind adopting because you only have the dog for a short amount of time. I am very responsible and i have the time to take care of one. I walk my dog everyday, but she can only handle going on a fifteen minute walk. I have been begging my parents for a while now to foster a dog, and have shown them how responsible i can be. There are two puppies at our shelter right now, brother and sister, who i would really like to foster. The brother is outgoing, but desperatly needs to learn some manners, and the sister is so scared she shakes violently and curls up in a ball in the corner and cries. Fostering these dogs would be good for them, to teach the boy manners, and show the girl the world isnt scary. But when my parents start to agree with me, they say no, without a reason. I compromise any excuse they may have adn we get to the point where we might go buy pet supplies, and they say no. Time isnt a problem either. My mom is off four days a week sometimes, and my Dad comes home for lunch breaks and is off every weekend. I can also come home straight after school to care for them. Please tell me what to do. I'm scared the girl puppy will get put down because we are over crowded right now and she is so terrified. I just want to save these dogs and find them a home. I just don't know what to do.
How do I convince my parents to get a second dog?
A Beagle would be a good choice, they are good family dogs, don't shed that much, and relatively get along well with other dogs, most of the time. To persuade your parents, first you must show them you are responsible, do your chores, homework, and take good care of your golden retriever first. Then write a well thought out essay to your parents, telling why you want this dog and what responsibilities you will have. Leave it for them to read, hold a family meeting, or read it at the dinner table one night. If they say yes, make sure to meet the dog before getting it, and maybe get your dogs to meet to ensure that they will be a good match. If your parents say no, then that probably means that they really don't want you to have another dog, give it time, and continue showing your parents how responsible you can be! Hope this Helped!
Convincing your parents to let you get (another) pet?
I'm a preteen who loves (probably to much) animals and the company of pets. I already have two birds, two sugar gliders, a rabbit, a dog, and two fish. I am responsible for each one, and clean all the cages, feed, and care for each one, everyday, by myself. I do chores and earn about half of the money to pay for the food and vet by myself. Some might say I have enough pets already, and don't need more. But, as long as they're well taken care of, visit the vet regularly, and get the care they need I disagree. So... My problem: I've been doing exstensive research on ferret health, how to care for them, and all the costs of owning a ferret. and, (not to sound like a whiny kid) I REALLY want one! I know the smell, cost, and care can be intimadating, but i'm sure none of you have had to make dinner for to squirrels everynight! My parents know i'm responsible enough. I just think they'll hesitate at getting me one because a) Ferrets have a reputation to smell. -Badly. But no more than my other pets! b)They just don't think I need anymore pets... Thanks in advance for any answers, and sorry this was so long!
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.
