Convince my parents for a dog

ok

so I REALLY want a pet dog
but my parents think its too much responibility
and weve never had any perts before

and im trying to convince them to gettin one
but what should I say?

whats one of the easiest dogs to take care of?

how much time will it take 4 like bathroom trraining?

about the cost per year
for shots and all?

To try and convince your parents maybe you could ask if you could start with a fish or a hamster or something and show them how well you can take care of it.

As for getting a dog, you should definitely adopt one from a humane society or the pound. I think they come with their shots but I could be wrong. Pet stores are way overpriced and you should get one from the pound to save a dog from being put to sleep.

well all dogs come will a lot of work
and plus you've never had a pet
so it would be tougher
im going to say go for a small dog
usually go for a dog that is house
trained already. thats the best thing
where are you from?
because dog prices depend on countries.
funmail me if you want to know more.xx.

a small dog will probably easier, although they need exercise, its not as much as a big dog. Also mongrels (crossbreeds) and less vulnerable to the illnesses which are in pedigree's, and are also a lot cheaper to buy.

ok well fi your parents dont think your responcible enouf start with somehting like a hamster and show your responcible and small dogs are usaly easyer to take care of
and if you get a dog keep evryting of value out of reach my dog chewed up my memorycard for my game cube when she was a puppy now shes about 3 and she stills steels stuff of the counter

tell your parents that big dogs can be house protectors(I have four dogs at my house, they work together and actually ALERT me when there is someone outside)
consider getting a dog that doesn't shed a whole lot- it will save your furniture.
get a dog around 1 or 2 years old that has been house broken- no dirty puppy training.

DO NOT start with a fish or a hamster because they seriously DIE so quickly and they are a lot harder to take care of than dogs from what I see. That will just make you appear irresponsible even though you did all you can.

If you go to school, don't get small dogs. They hate being left alone for long and will cry all the time since they get attached to 1 or 2 people in the household very easily. I think you should get a retriever or lab. they're very friendly, but remember that all puppies are destructive especially medium size - big ones and will tear up your house if you don't be careful.

Dogs are also very pricey. If anything is wrong with them, you need to be prepared for paying hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.

I have always wanted a dog but can not pursuade my parents either. So I did what everyone else has said and got a hamster, and completely fell in love with her. they live around 2 years- which is what I had mine for. They do take quite a lot of caring for but they are easy compared to a dog! the way I looked after my hamster conviced my mum I could have another pet and even though I didnt get a dog, I got 2 gorgeous kittens instead!

If you really have your heart set on a dog you need to first think about how much time you have for walking ect. you also need to think about who will be in your house during the daytime and whether you would be able to provide the company and attention a dog needs.

good luck pursuading!
