I want to buy a dog but my mum doens't let me do it.What should I do??

She says that in the end,she will be the one that will go it for a walk,feed it and wash it..But this isn't true.She also thinks that the dog won't be happy if we close it in a house.But we don't have a yard или a garden.I Любовь Собаки and I would do everything to get one but I don't know what to do!Any ideas?Thanks.

Собаки Ответы

astroasis said:
Ask your mom if there are any chores или responsibilities around the house that Ты could take on to prove to her that you're responsible enough to look after a dog. It sounds like she's concerned that you're not responsible enough, so you'll have to work hard to Показать her that Ты are. Собаки are a lot of work, so keep that in mind.

As for the indoor issue, smaller Собаки are perfectly happy being kept as indoor pets. My family has a very small "toy" size dog that stays indoors all the time, even though we have a yard. She's litter box trained and everything... and happy as could be. She's actually super spoiled XD

So do some research on smaller Собаки and indoor Собаки and do some hard, hard work to Показать your mom that you're responsible... and maybe your mom will change her mind.

However, always keep in mind that it's your mom's house and she's the adult. Ты need to respect her wishes and if she still says no... Then the answer is no. Then Ты should try the other suggestion of volunteering at a shelter that works with dogs.

If your mum doesn't want Ты to have a dog she must have her reasons.Why don't Ты contact some local dog kennels или Rehoming centres and offer to do some volantary work with the Собаки like walking them.Then it will give Ты experience with Собаки and Ты will also be helping them and your mum will see how serious Ты are about keeping and looking after a dog. Hope this helps Good Luck !

If Ты don't have a yard или anything I recommend getting a small dog and taking it for walks around the neighborhood twice a day. I ran into the same problem, but I eventually got a dog of my own. I paid for him, trained him, and feed him every night. Mo is completely MY responsibility.
S dog is a big commitment and is something Ты really have to think about. There is training, feeding, potty training, and other things to consider before getting a dog. If Ты are not allowed to get a dog Ты need to prove that Ты are responsible enough for one.

if your mum wont let Ты have a dog then have a chat with her and think about both of your reasons. remind your mum that Ты will feed and care for the dogs. if your mum still wont let Ты then Ты could maybee start off with a smaller pet like a хомяк или fish. cya xx

Ты can also suggest to your mom that Ты could "try out" a dog for a few days или weeks, for example when a friend with a dog goes on vacation and can't/doesn't want to take their dog.
I did it and it worked. We got a dog and had him for nine years (yes, I did it when I was 9 and it still worked :)) until Friday. He had cancer and we had to have him put down :'(
That is also something Ты need to think about: are Ты prepared to let your dog go when he dies? Some people cannot handle that very well.

ok, let me see if i can help...
Ты mentioned that Ты dont have a yard~ my suggestion is to research dog breeds that would suit living in apartments etc. print out this research and Показать it to your mum. Ты dont want to get a Labrador (these Собаки are big!) to live in an apartment. some examples of smaller dog breeds are westies & mini foxies.
Показать your mum that Ты can be responsible. volunteer (if your old enough) at your local kennel. Ты will probably learn how to clean up after a dog, grooming, feeding, and training of a dog, health care of a dog, plus various other skills needed in order to raise a dog. Собаки are very hard work when they are puppies. keep a folder of everything Ты have done at the kennel so Ты can Показать your mum how responsible your being.
research dog laws. part of owning a dog is knowing where Ты can take them, if they need a muzzle, trainer handling, poo bags etc. include this in your folder.
see if Ты can start walking neighborhood dogs. walk them on a regular basis. draw up a walking schedule for your dog if Ты do get it. Показать your mum that Ты can include walking the dog in between homework and school and catching up with friends. the same goes for meal times for your dog.
dont forget to find out all Ты can about dog health! treatment for worming, fleas, ticks etc are all part of raising a dog.
even after all of this, and your mum still does not want Ты to get a dog, i still recommend volunteering. find a doggy день care center, a vet surgeon, your local kennel, или keep walking the neighbours dogs. this way Ты can still be around them.
~GOOD LUCK!~

It will not work. The еще Ты ask, the еще likely Ты will not get a dog. Those cartoon shows are FAKE with the begging.

Beg her или do something Ты never done that will impress her. Then Показать her responsiblite and then she will give Ты a dog.
