Children are very fond of animals, so it is not surprising that parents so often hear a request to have a pet. The undoubted favorite is the dog - it is difficult to imagine a more faithful and reliable companion for the child. However, not always moms and dads willingly agree to buy a puppy; In any case, before persuading parents to buy a dog, it is necessary to realize the seriousness of this step.
Why parents are not allowed to have a dog?
In order to persuade parents to have a puppy, you need to figure out why they are categorically against it. It is necessary to treat their explanations with understanding, because sometimes it is really impossible to have a pet.
For example, if one of the family members is allergic to wool or the financial situation of the family does not allow keeping the dog, as this requires really big expenses: the dog needs special food, it needs to be vaccinated, and in case of illness it may require expensive treatment.
Most often, parents are not allowed to have a dog due to the fact that they are sure that it will be on their shoulders that all the problems associated with caring for them will fall. In this case, you must prove that you are old enough to be responsible for a shaggy friend. If you have problems with school performance, a constant mess in the room, it means that you cannot yet organize your life.
To begin with, answer yourself the question: are you ready every morning to walk with your dog early in the morning and in the evening, because for this you will have to get up earlier, sometimes to cancel communication with friends. Whether you want it or not, you will have to walk with animals in any weather: in the snow, in the rain, and in the frost for many years.
If you are really ready for this, show your parents that you are old enough: sort out your studies and train yourself to order, stick to a certain schedule, watch your things yourself.
Where to begin?
If you like a particular breed of dog, tell your parents about how it is so good - each breed has its advantages and characteristics, and you need to know them in order to properly care for your pet. Take into account that the breed must be chosen according to your age and weight, since you must be able to keep the animal on a leash in any situation.
Explain that your interest will not go along with the purchase - constantly remind that you want a dog (not every day). Get ready for the fact that the negotiations may take a lot of time. Ask to go to exhibitions together, tell how your friends are caring for their pets.
The dog is really able to change the life and character of its owner. Perhaps your parents do not know that this pet develops a sense of responsibility. Tell me how important it is for you to have a friend with whom you can always be together. In addition, the dog will help make new friends and gain more authority among the old. A puppy appeared in the house teaches children honesty and loyalty, trust and love.
There are organizations that are engaged in the maintenance of stray animals. Talk to your parents and tell us how important it is for each animal to have its own home. It is likely that this approach will melt their heart. However, in this case it is necessary to take into account that the dog may not be pedigreed, but an ordinary mongrel, although if you really want to make a friend, it will not matter to you.
If you have been persuading parents for so long that they cannot calmly respond to your requests, tell us how a dog has a beneficial effect on the psycho-emotional state of people. Her presence relieves stress and calms.
Despite all attempts, parents may never agree to have a puppy. Be prepared for this and do not worry - the time will come, and you still will have the best dog.
