How can I convince my parents to get a dog?

It doesn't have to be big, just a little beagle or something.

How can I convince them?

Whenever I ask them these things are what they say:

"They're too hard to take care of, and I bet you would NEVER take them for a walk, and they poop and pee all over the house."

"I don't even like dogs" (mom)

"They leave hair everywhere"

"You can get one once you move out and have your own place"

What you could do is promise swear to them that every day you would give time to the dog etc. Leaving hair everywhere get a short haired dog...like a jack russel terrior, they barley leave hair any where!

Make life sound better with a dog (which it definitely is).

They are a lot of work to take care of, but if you put some time into researching the breed you want, then they will see that you are already spending time on the dog. A great site with lots of information is www.breederretriever.com. Also, look into groomers, vet clinics, and training schools. Make your parents see that you are serious, and don't give up. As soon as you give up they will think you are bored of the idea.

Also, start going for walks on your own. After a week of going for walks on your own start telling them that it would be nice to have a dog as a walking partner.

Start giving your mom some funny facts about dogs, all the the things dogs can do, exciting information on particular breeds that you have been researching. Also, you can start posting pictures of really cute puppies everywhere (unless this annoys your parents).

Look into breeds that don't shed very much and breeds that are hypoallergenic. Poodles, wheatons, and shih tzus may be good options. Terriers, shepherds, and retrievers tend to be major shedders in comparison to some other breeds.

Good luck!
