This is a hard one. You can start off by cleaning your home allot showing to you Dad that you have the SKILLS to tack care of a pet. If that dose not work you can wight till you move out. Don't keep pestering him about it. Honor you father and your mother-Ten Commandments

Maybe you should hold off on getting a dog until you have your own place. Dogs live from 12 to 18 years. If you get a dog now you will probably not be able to take it with you when you first leave home. If your Dad really hates dogs it might be better to wait.
Can you get access to somebody's dog occasionally to take it for walks and play time. People even pay to get their dogs exercised. You could volunteer at the humane society and learn about dogs there. They are rather demanding pet and take a lot of care and training.

when i was little my dad wouldn't ever let us kids have a dog. we begged for days. we said we would clean up after it no matter what. he still said no. i was driven along the high way hear in Canberra in the middle of this road there was something hit the brakes, it was a pup no older then 8 weeks it was poor looked after. i brang it home showed dad man did i have butter fly. i told dad once again i will look after him 0 please give me a chance if i don't then the dog goes no matter what. my father gave me 3 months to look after the dog. its been 6 years now and i still have her. I'm guessing all i can say is talk to him say dad please can i i will look after it Please give me a chance i promise to take care just one chance is all I'm asking. maybe something happened when he was a kid and he had a dog ask him about it...

I think the way I would go about doing is is getting an outside dog...Bring one home and say you found it...Show him you can take care of an outside dog first then he may see your responsible enuff for an inside pup....Hope everthing works out and you get the dog you so want..

Write him a list of why you wnat one and what you would do for it. Ask him why he doesnt want a dog and then try to compromise and show him that you are responsible enough for it maybe even become a dog walker so he can see how you handle them or maybe even be a dogsitter (one from your neighboorhood) can do it. good luck!

you probably have made your dad think you cant handle a dog you need to get a job or maybe do somethings that will show you can be responsible

I had the same problem with my Dad when I was young .. just tell him you really want one but if he says no, you'll respect his decision. I did this with my Dad and within a week, he bought me a puppy. Good luck.

show him that you are responsible enough and that way you can persuade him that way. he may want to see that you are mature enough to take care of a dog. they say that actions speak louder than words. then i would show him that i am able to handle it and maybe he'll take note and let you.
