well just letting u guys know, i have a dog at las vegas(my parents are divorced) and i know how to take care of them, but my mom just can't seem to see that. alot of people dislike my mom(including myself at times) because she is the BIGGEST ****** in the world, and she is WAY over protective like WAY OVER

Answer 1

Tricking her really won't do anything. Show that you're willing to take care of the dog for its WHOLE lifetime and also show her that the responsibilities won't not pushed away to your mom. She's probably worried about that. Research, show some stuff responsibility. Doing chores around the house is nice, but many people tend to stop after getting a pet. It usually is said by their parents anyways. I would do something that's actually related to a dog, or something that shows you're capable. By the way, don't ask too much. (Like 5 times a day) One time a month should be the right time. Otherwise, it'll annoy her and she'll probably stop the thought of even having a dog.
PS: Please adopt instead of buying.

Answer 2

There is more to having a dog than just obtaining one. They are a huge expense. Besides having to purchase the food, there are the vet bills to consider. shots each year as well as the registration with the city (if your city requires it).

Then there is the daily needs of the dog. Feeding and watering are only minor. Then there is making sure the dog gets it's exercise. House training is a big chore if you are not there during the day. Will it be an inside dog or an outdoor dog? If it is outdoors- then you need a dog house and a safe place for it to exist, such as a fenced yard or a dog run kennel.

Then, if you are to go someplace - say on vacation - what do you do with your dog?
What happens when your dog is sick? Who will be there to take care of it?

It's a lot like having another child in the house.

I love dogs and I have one. I had two, but one died last year and it just devastated me.

You have to be really willing to take on the responsibility of a pet. Most kids promise the moon to get one, and once the newness wears off, they neglect the pet, leaving it for the parent.

Wait until you are an adult and on your own, then get a pet - but be willing to be a responsible pet parent. After all, their life depends on YOU.

Answer 3

Tell her that you will take care of everything, like walking the dog, feeding it, etc. Tell her that she wouldn't have to worry about it, that even if it has an accident, you would clean it up. Make her know that you would be the owner not her. Also make sure you tell her you will wash the dog as much as it needs to. Moms normally freak about a dirty dog. I would know, I have a lot of friends that have dogs and their moms always freak when the dog is flithy. So tell her you would take care of it as much as it needs too. Do all of your chours, do your homework, or anything she wants you to do with out being asked to do it. Also make sure you do some extra stuff around the house, like helping her with cooking, shoping or anything like that. Also don't keep asking her to get a dog, she won't cave in nor will she be happy and she most likely won't get it if you do. So don't ask for a little while and make sure you ask her on a good day. A day when she did nothing pretty much and also you might want to ask her how her day went and listen to her.

Answer 4

Right now she probably thinks that you'll lose interest in the dog and she'll be stuck caring for it, along with everything else in your household.

Show her that you will be responsible for the dog. This means feeding it, walking it (and picking up its excrement), and all the other things you do when you own a dog.

You're probably saying, "Well, how do I do that?" Simple. Clean your room without her telling you. Help her around the house if you don't do so already (without her nagging you). Offer to babysit younger siblings. Do the shopping, if you're of age to drive and be by yourself. Don't sneak out of the house or tell her you're somewhere you're not. All this shows that you're responsible.

Answer 5

Prove responsibility... do your chores, do your homework & demonstrate that you are ready & able to take on the big chore that is raising a dog. If you tend to get bored with things quickly they might be hesitant to give you a pet that will live 10-20 years depending on the breed. You may have to start small, prove that you can take care of a hamster etc. DON'T WINE!!!! Ask in a calm & mature manner why they have said no... there may be alergies or a tramatic event in the past that will need to be addressed.

Answer 6

First of all getting on the Internet and complaining about your mother nagging and be overprotective tells me that you are too young and irresponsible to take care of a dog.

If you were responsible, your Mom would not have to nag you to do what you are supposed to be doing to contribute to the household, as a member of that household.

If she is being overprotective, it is because she is responsible for your well being until you are eighteen years old, and you have to follow her rules and regulations.

Pets are a lot of work, as well as being a lot of fun. They are also an expense, and food and medical care can be hundreds of dollars per year and more if they have any illness or problems that they need a vets care for.

Unless you are old enough to have a job, you cannot expect your Mom to take on that kind of expense just because you want a dog.

When you are an adult and have a job to support yourself, then you can have all the pets that you want to be responsible for.

Answer 7

Well finding a free one always works, but tricking her into seeing it will help a lot. Most mothers cant give that one away. Make sure its reasonably sized so she doesnt think she's gonna have a mammoth running around and maybe create a background for it. Tell her they cant give the dog away because nobody wants it and they all think its a runt and will be a worthless dog. If this doesnt work...well im sorry but im worried your mother may not have a soul...or she can read you like a book...

Answer 8

your current dog is still very young.. mom is probably relieved to be past all the trials and tribulations of puppyhood- potty training, chewing, trips to the vet for shots, worming and spay... she's probably not ready to take on another dog, expecially one that will be a BIG dog. Mom may not be ready to pay for the vet expenses of a second dog. a purebred puppy, even if it ends in the pound, will likely be adopted. Your dog doesnt need another dog for company, she has her human family members for company. Big dogs and little dogs dont always mesh either. really.. and its your way or the highway? Cant even try to see it from mom's point of view for one second? You want what you want, and you want it now.. without even thinking it through on the pros and cons of taking on another dog.

Answer 9

I don't know how old you are, but look at your household situation. If you get a dog, is anyone home during the day to play and take care of the dog? If mom is the only one home during the day, maybe she does not want the hassle of taking care of a dog.

Answer 10

Well I am 12 years old and I really wanted a dog so I told my mom that I would feed it, take it on walks, and clean up after it. I also told her that she could come with me to look at the dogs (my parents are not together any more so my dad coulld of took me) so of course my mom met the dogs and fell in love with one of them so now I have one!
