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.
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!!
Help! Convince my parents to let me have a dog?!?!?
I wrote my parents a 4 page, small text persuasive speech for a dog. If you're good at writing, do that! Pour your soul into it! I almost made my dad cry from my speech!! Not a week later I had not jsut one puppy, but TWO. They are now older and trained and very much lovable, but if you can pull the right strings and get yoru parents to see it ur way, it'll be the best decision of your life. It was for me anyway (:
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
Trying to convince the parents to let me get a Doberman?
If your`e parents say no, it`s a no. They will have their reasons after all dogs are big responsibilities I mean Who`s going to buy it? Who's going to pay for his/hers vets bills? Who's going to buy the food and toys? Wheres it going to stay? What if something goes wrong? Are you going to give it all the love and care it needs? Will you walk it Twice a day at least? How do you pick the right temperament? Are you going to train him/her properly? Will you get bored? I`m sure your`e parents dont want to end up looking after the dog they never wanted to begin with! The list could indeed go on, and don't forget that's at least 14 years of you're life you will have a dog for and you might get fed up after the first year. Having a cute little puppy is great but comes with a lot of hard work, time and effort. SO......If you are having to Convince you're parents something tells me that they may not think you are responsible enough therefore you have to convince them. Also Dobermans are great dogs but will be tough if it is you're fist dog. You have to be dominant with dogs especially this breed and they grow to be quite large, proper training and socialization are important. Please think and know what you are taking on as having a dog that you yourself have to Look after is a big commitment and actually life changing. Good luck :)
Can you please help convince my parents to allow me to have a 2nd dog?
Tell your parents that your dog needs a companion other than you. Your dog will be grateful for it. Our Chihuahua was often moping and feelimg depressed since we couldn't give him attention when he wanted it. So we got a new dog and he was so happy. His mood was better and now they're best friends. Plus she was a great addition to our family. We love her so much and couldn't imagine what our lives would be like now without her.Btw if you do get a second dog I hope you adopt one from the shelter. Both of our dogs are rescues and they are the sweetest things you could ever have.
How do I convince my parents to get a dog to help with my anxiety and depression (not self-diagnosed)?
If your parents don’t want the expense and labor of caring for a dog for the nest 15 years, they shouldn’t get one. Every child and teenager wants a dog. But parents know that dogs cost a lot, not just to buy but to feed, get heartworm and flea and tick medicine for, annual vet checkups, vaccinations, and any injuries or illnesses they might suffer. On top of that, the dog needs to be trained to walk on a leash and go to the bathroom outside and not bark too much, all of which take a lot of time and patience. He will have to be walked at least 3 times a day when grown, and exercised for at least an hour daily. Many dogs have to be groomed as well, with bathing and haircuts. It is nearly as expensive and time consuming as having a baby. Your anxiety and depression can be treated with behavioral therapy and medications. It may take several different experiments with different medications to find the ones that work best for you.
How do I convince my parents not to give away my dog? He is a 2-year-old Labrador. I love him so much. We are moving away so my parents want to give him away. How do I convince them not to give him away?
Labradors are the best of dogs, and a 2-year-old will be in the prime of life. I can appreciate your distress.I don’t know why you can't take your dog with you, but I'm sure there is a good reason. Maybe money problems are part of the picture?I have two Labs. Moz is 9 and Lucy is 3. Diesel died a couple of years ago, leaving a big hole in my heart. I am a some time actor, and whenever I needed to cry I would imagine giving one of my dogs to the Blind Society to be a guide dog. I would start crying immediately. But if any of my dogs had a chance to be a guide dog I would let them go. I love my dogs and I would love them to have an important career just as I want my human children to have successful lives.If you love your beautiful dog you will think of his (or her) wellbeing first. If there is a good reason why you cannot keep your dog you owe it to him to do everything you can to find him a good home so he can be happy.I am 63 and I have had to make many hard decisions in my life. Talk to your parents. Try to find out why they have to give your dog away. See if there is anything you can do to help keep him. But if there isn't, try to do the right thing for your dog and do what you can to give him a happy life.Good luck.
How can I convince my parents to allow me to adopt a dog from the shelter?
You don’t mention why the last dog was given away. My guess is no one was able to take care of it. (no room, too expensive, too much work), if that situation has not changed then it would be cruel to get a dog and give it away few weeks later.But let’s pretend that is no longer an issue and answer your question. To take care of a pet you first need to be able to take care of yourself. I know it kind of not make sense but it does, let me explain: my daughter really wanted a turtle they were really cheap so I got her 2, one of them survived. They are REALLY dirty animals, you have to clean the tank at least once a month, clean the filter at least once a week and also I learn they, most likely, have salmonella so you have to wash your hands really well every time you touch the tank (to clean or feed them). So, guess who takes care of it?... ME.She now wants a rabbit, I don’t want to take care of a rabbit and, if we get one, there is a big chance I will. My daughter promises she will take care of it. So (the part that concerns you), I told her if she wakes up by herself, dress herself, eat without us having to tell her every 2 seconds “sit down and eat” she can get a rabbit. The logic here is, if she can’t do that without help, there is no way she can keep a pet alive without help.Now, a dog, taking care of a dog is WAY more work than taking care of a turtle, you have to clean after it, train it, taking it for a walk EVERY DAY. If you can’t get out of the house, there is no way you can promise you will walk a dog. Maybe it will give you the push you need, but that is just a maybe. I believe you can make a “contract” with your parents:“For the next month, I promise I will take a 30 minute walk everyday (even if it is cold, hot or raining), help clean the dishes and pickup my room (equivalent to cleaning after the dog), and there will be no need of you remembering me to take care of myself (take a bath, eat, take medication) . If I do that then I can get a dog” (or something similar), it has to be more than 20 days, it takes that much to create a habit sorry. Maybe that can convince them that you are responsible enough, if that doesn’t convince them they may have their reasons. Ask what those reasons are and accept them, or find a workaround. A simple “I promise I will do x” don’t count.
