Why not find someone in your neighborhood that has a dog/puppy and ask if you can help them by taking their dog for walks. That way you get to play with one without taking the full responsibility for one. You get an idea of what is required in dog ownership and whether you are ready to commit to a 15 – 20 year lifetime. Because it would not be fair to get a puppy then forget about it when it gets bigger or you get bored.

Sorry, I don’t understand what “I’m am also looking for cure.”

anyways, I feel like your mom is making the decision that you are not ready for a dog- especially a puppy which comes completely untrained, in teething process, poops and pees everywhere, and requires a lot of money and A LOT of time.

I would suggest waiting for your own place or if your mom is okay with getting a dog. You should also tell her that instead of a puppy get an older dog 2-5 years which most of them are trained, housetrained, don’t chew, and have already had all their shots and just need yearly vet visits.
Don’t rush and already pick out a dog, because that will just make it worse for you.

It’s your mums house. What she says goes.

Yes you can beg, but this often makes your chances even slimmer. You need to show her that you can be responsible for it. Help out at a shelter. Offer to walk friends/relatives/neighbours dogs. Show her that you can care for one.

I’m guessing that you are still young.. What happens to the dog when you move out. Do you take it with you. Or will you make your mum look after it. What if you decide you no longer want it. What about if you no longer care about it, because you’re sick of cleaning up after it every two minutes. Are you willing to clean up dog poo every day. Are you going to train it, walk it? Dogs live a long time, and you aren’t doing anyone a favour if you don’t look after it, the dog will be miserable, your mum will be cranky at you, and you won’t feel happy either.

As cute as puppies are they are hard work. They need constant supervision while in the house or can become destructive. Puppies grow up to become dogs, what is cute when they were puppies become annoying when they are adults. Sorry but you need to hear the truth. Just because you want one, doesn’t mean you should get one. Do you have a job? Puppies cost a lot of money, your mothers money if you don’t have a job, I’m sure that she doesn’t like the idea of spending thousands of dollars on a dog that she didn’t want.

You have NO idea how much work a puppy is!! They are perpetual two year olds and are much responsibility. I’m sure your mother feels you are not responsible to undertake such a task, and she probably does not have the time or energy to take care of it either…which is what is going to happen. You cannot convince (ie: manipulate) your mother into thinking otherwise…unless you show her how responsible you can be. I see so many sweet animals returned to the SPCA because people can’t take care of them. It’s so sad.

ask it as your birthday gift…or another alternative is,just bring a puppy in your house without your mum’s knowledge..he,he

Answer by Tanika
puppies are extremely hard work
you have to make sure everybody in your family will help out and make it a commitment

Cute should be the last requirement on your list. You need to consider the dog’s needs – like grooming (how often it needs to be brushed), exercise (how often/long does it need to be walked), trainability (easy to train or hard), and so on.

Here is a site about these things (i suggest you read it over – it may show mom how serious you are about this:)

https://www.raisingspot.com/intro-choosing-puppy

As far as mom goes – sit her down and talk to her. Ask her if you guys could consider getting a dog or puppy soon. Outline a plan of what you need for the dog (and how you’ll help pay for it all), what breed you want ( i hope you were also considering what SHE may want in a dog as well as yourself), and give her the rundown of the chores YOU will be responsible for and what you’ll need help with (be honest because you know you won’t do it all by yourself.)

If she says “I don’t think you would take care of it” then there must be a reason for her saying that. Ask her what you can do to start showing responsibility in that case, then DO IT. If she’s worried about money then get a job to help pay for it. But if she still says no, then don’t push it.

Sometimes the most responsible and mature thing to do is to back off. She pays for everything else and she supports you. When you have your own place and a job, you can get your puppy. Until then, mom’s house equals her rules.

Sarah, maybe your mom would let you have a dog if you did better in school. It’s puppy, not puppie. Many a kid has been allowed a dog for straight A’s.

Answer by skyalert
If you plan to stay at home a lot or have the dog with when you go out to school,shopping, work or weekends where all your friends are, sure thing. Ask yourself if you’ll have the time for daily walks in the next 15 years or will you be allowing someone else to walk it with a completely new set of commands for the dog.
eg.No barking or shutup?
Come or Here?
Just like people need to be guided along at lifes early stages, so do puppies.
Have you seen the dog at the end of his chain barking at everyone who passes? It’s saying I need to play and be with the pack (family or owner) That’s because the owner is at school,work,shopping or out with friends.
We would all like to see puppies grow into well socialised dogs. It takes years of commitment to accomplish this.
