ask them why they dont want one home. then hear them out and then talk to them about things you can do to show them you are responsible to keep a puppy.
my mom finally agreed to a puppy when we compromised:
I was to keep my room and bathroom clean under inspection for three months, when the finally inspection was approved I was allowed to bring home my puppy.
needless to say I didnt bring home a puppy because puppies need alot of attention and cleaning and house training and you cant ever hang out late or hang out all day long without taking care of your puppy. so i didnt want my parents to clean up after MY DOG, so I got a ferret instead. =D
most parents are afraid that their kids will be bored with the puppy after a while and then THEY WOULD have to CLEAN UP AFTER IT.
just reassure your parents that wont happen. and then compromise.
oh, when your mom says that to you, ask her to "hear you out" and if she says something about "no" or "not now" just say, "mom, I want to talk to you about something important TO ME, Im sorry that you dont find my life important enough for you to talk to me about things" or something on those lines.
its shady to guilt trip your parents, but it kind of makes it seem like your parents dont pay enough attention to you.
(it works for me hope it works for you)
good luck!!

If they say no, unfortunately there is nothing you can do to change their minds. It's their house.
If you really want to be around a puppy, why not get a part time job at a kennel doing puppy day care or walking dogs or something.. that way you can be around puppies and not have to worry about cleaning up after them, paying for all of their shots, etc.
And once you've earned enough money and shown your parents that you have learned to take care of a puppy on your own, maybe theyll let you use your money you earned to buy a puppy. You never know.

Sounds like there's a lot more going on here than just the issue of getting a puppy. I don't think that bringing a dog into this hostile atmosphere is a smart idea. Better to spend some time with your family and understand where all of the tension and anger is coming from - certainly, getting a puppy is not going to solve this.

Try finding out why your folks don't want a dog.
My Mom was the same way when I said several times I WOULD take on the responsibility of owning a puppy like feeding it, cleaning up after it, etc... but she wasn't convinced.
I got a beagle puppy in October, it was hard taking care of her but I kept my promise about caring for my dog now that she's fully grown, it's a bit easier, she's also calming down, since she's maturing. She and the pug we already own are the best of friends, they play together they even kiss each other!
Depending on how the beagle is she'll even share her bone with him.
If you want a puppy try looking for one that's 4-9 months old, it might already be house broken and a bit of basic training like sit, stay, etc...

I would respect your parents wishes. Find out from them why they don't want a dog. Then work off of that. Some peoples life styles aren't suited for dogs. They require alot of money, care and attention. I got my first dog when I was 10 after whining for years. Now i'm 21 and I own 4 dogs. My 1st dog died a year ago, my parents do not regret ever buying him for me, he was the best thing that ever happend to us. He got VERY expensive the last year of his life with surgerys for his cancer and such. Good Luck

Try carrying around a stuffed dog alll the time and treating it like the real thing. Take it out every few hours around the clock to let it go potty, name it, teach it tricks, and keep this up a minimum of a few weeks. Not only is it funny, but they'll see how responsible you are.

LOL! My son did this and what I did become offered a cart seat conceal and clipped toys on it for him to entertain him with. I additionally take a sippy cup and zip bag of snack for him (basically in case it takes longer than i choose to). He does nicely. Now while he screams to coach me how loud he could be I end the cart the place i'm (being careful to no longer block any aisles techniques you) and that i'm getting eye point with him so he can see me. I placed my finger to my lips and say "shhh. Use your super boy words please". it fairly works. If he does scream lower back then I tell him greater firmly "mommy stated no screaming and you need to obey that." He hardly ever desires the 2nd reminder anymore. In our living house the rule is going to be basically 2 allowed circumstances for screaming. One is that if somebody is harm and that they choose help and a pair of is as quickly as we are at a activities activity and that they are cheering with all human beings else, in any different case i do no longer choose to pay attention it. Now it fairly is he's 14 month's he does fairly solid if I provide him something to hold interior the shop that i'm identifying to purchase besides. it is a clean sippy cup that he desires, a field of cereal or crackers or maybe something small like a field of jello or pudding mixture. It makes him satisfied and retains him occupied long sufficient to maintain him quiet by way of fact he's "assisting momma" which he loves. he will babble and talk up a hurricane during the shop yet a minimum of he isn't screaming and being obnoxious to all human beings else in it. as a rule now he will wave to human beings and say "hi" or tell me issues utilising each and every notice he's familiar with at this element (blowing kisses, saying mommy and maximum forms of it, "i'm getting", "nanner" (loves bananas and could pass nuts for them while he sees them), "daddy", "bye bye", "luv" etc...)

The more you bug them, the less likely they are to say yes. And if the parents don't want a dog...DON'T get a dog!!!!!!!
They will end up taking care of it most of the time...and paying the vet bills!!!

You can't open closed, bolted, fastened, chained, sealed, barred minds hon.
If you cannot get a word in edgewise consider it a battle long lost before it was begun.
