How do you think i could make my dad say yes to a dog?

Question

my dad dosent like dogs so he always says no when i ask him!

my mum loves dogs like me and she says yes!

so what can i do?

Answer 1

Unfortunately you can't make someone want to get a dog. However, you could say that you'll buy the dog with your own money and pay for the food. Maybe you dad is worried that you want take ownership over the dog. Hope you dad says yes!! :)

Answer 2

First ask dad why he is so against having a dog.  Then if it comes down to you being responsible he needs to see you handling the house, cleaning the house, washing the dishes watering the plants, doing things before he has to do them even wash his car for him.  If it comes to the fact that he was bitten by too many to mention ask him if ever taunted the dogs before they bit him. That also can be the case or the dogs just don't like the male s*x from previous experiences in their lives.  

Answer 3

If you told your dad that you would take full responsibility like feeding him and cleaning up after him, maybe he would let you get one. But if he doesn't let you, show your responsibility in other ways like cleaning up the house like you would clean up with a dog.

Answer 4

i had the same problem loads of sites told me to clean everything and walk everyday and stuff like that but if he not going to ever give in then you have wasted your time just say to him would you let me have one if i . . . .  . then then say what you are willing to do hope it helps x

Answer 5

Well you have an easier situation than most others who have both parents who wont agree.  Generally, you want to have good grades and do all of your chores good.  Don't argue with your parents or keep bugging them about one either.  It will get them annoyed and want to say no even more.

I would suggest first finding a breed that is easy to take care of, i have a schnoodle (hybrid between schnauzer and poodle) and they are easy to take care of.  Look them up on the internet, and maybe make a power point or something to impress your dad that you are responsible and you are willing to put together something for that dog.  Remember, everyone goes through the stage when they begin to ignore their puppy, so make sure you don't go through that!  

Schnoodles may be a good dog for you and your dad.  They are good dogs, very loyal, good with children, and they will give you warning when a stranger comes by.  However they may become a little yappy, so be sure to train them to not howl excessively.  But, generally the warning growl is good.



Remember to be responsible, and show your dad that he wont have to do a thing, and that you can take care of the dog well.  Good luck!

Answer 6

ok here is a complete list but remeber not to bug him or the answer will be completley no.

1. Do LOTS of chores.

2. look to adopt a dog for cheap, he would like that and if it has sad story maybe he will feel bad. (but be carefull some dogs that you adopt have problems mke sure you know what your getting into!)

3.daily ask him in a nice way and keep him updated on the dog and on the chores youv done.

4. make a chore list for your self, of all the things you need to do and what time with the dog.

5. ask your mom to talk to him and tell her ll the things youve done.

6. go on a discounted petsore and make a wish list for your new dog and if it comes to cheap your dad may think "hey ok its not going to be that exspencive let her have the dog!"

7. if your birthday is coming around or any special thing, say that is the first thing on your list and youll be sad without it.

hope i helped but dont bug! and be carefull!

Answer 7

Borrow a dog for a week (I am sure you have friends who want to go on vacation or some other reason). Get your dad to take it for a walk. If he likes having it for a week, he'll like having it period. If he doesn't, you'll have to wait til you grow up and move out ;)

Answer 8

for starters best behavior dont let your dad lift a finger

then get some kind of job maybe even dog walking

also tell him you want a small dog {i have a rat terrier she is energetic and a good guard dog and she attatched to me and the family quickly}..............she's  right beside me

Answer 9

Sorry, sounds like you're out of luck.

He doesn't like dogs.  It's never a good idea to get a dog unless everybody in the house wants one.

When you grow up and have your own place, you can have a dog.

Answer 10

Talk to him about the crime rate of wherever you live and then tell them this story.

A good friend of mine was walking his pitbull. He lived in the hood at the time, so muggings and getting shot wasn't nnecessarilyuncommon. Well, while he was out, a man ran up on him with a knife and held it to his neck. That was a bad move, because my friend's pitbull wasn't too thrilled that his companion was being attacked and proceeded to maul the guy. Now, the dog had to be put down, because that's American law (ununfortunately) but she saved his life.

enjoy your new dog

Answer 11

Well, if  your dad doesn't want one, then you don't get one. Never, ever, ever, even consider getting a dog unless everyone in the house OKs it.  

Answer 12
