My dad won’t let me have a dog?

I have the same issue. only my dad’s all for a dog and my Mom’s being difficult. It has nothing to do with the breed, it’s just the idea in general. Prove your responsible to him and show him that you can take care of a dog.

dont get a puppy. that would help get a dog that is already poddy trained if it is still small get it but i hate having to go through the training. my mini schnauzer is about 3 months old or so and he is starting to get poddy training but he also knows how to sit and shake. these dogs are extremely smart. if i was u i would get a airedale terrier or a yorkie or a schnauzer. all are great dogs. the airedales are extremely smart

Dogs should never be given as presents. The majority of the time the novelty wears off and you end up with a multitude of unwanted puppies crowding the local animal shelter.

If your dad really doesn’t want a dog then I wouldn’t force the issue. If he gives in (which I doubt from the sound of him he sounds determined) then he could end up resenting the dog and he won’t have a good bond with it. A dog is a family pet and all members of the family should be in agreement before one is brought into your life.

You could ask him what it is he’s concerned about, he may not want the responsibility of a puppy, maybe he’s worried you will get bored with it, maybe he fears he’ll be left to look after it and ultimately pay for its care.

At the end of the day your dad has the final say and if he doesn’t want a dog, you can’t force him. A dog is better going to a home where it is wanted rather than unwanted.

Just let it go, dad says no and he means it.

I would just like to know what is wrong with kids today? When parents say no it should be left at that and kids shouldn’t be whining to the world about it.
Beside you don’t even know anything about the breed of dog you want,

Well It isn’t what I know, but you ask us to help you talk dad into getting you this snorting, squatty little dog that snores louder then my husband and that is going some.
Like I have said in past if dad pays bills and buys the food he has last say so so stop hounding him or you wont even get a stuffed dog from wal-mart.

My husband said the same thing, no way we are getting a dog, now we have one he loves it and dotes on it more than me!

They are alot of hassle, perhaps convince your dad that you and your mum will pull together and care for it. Prove to him that you have done your research but don’t nag. He may change his mind…..
