You do things like.


Clean your room and KEEP it clean.


Sweep the floor.


Do your homework on time.


Get good grades.


Don't fight with your brothers and sisters.


Don't talk back to adults.


Eat what your parents give you and don''t make any faces about it.


Remember to share.


Do research on taking care of a dog and what breed of dog you want.


Ask them nicely and don't whine or beg when you talk about getting a new pet.How can i convince my parents to get a dog?
First off, don't ask for a puppy everyday.





Prove to them that you are responsible. Do chores even when you are not asked. and never complain.





Show interest in animals. Volunteer at local animal shelters or human societies. And if you have any neighbors, ask them if you can take their dog(s) for a walk.





Do research about what type of dog you want, what breed would be best for your home. And research what the grooming and health requirements are.





When you feel the time is right sit down and talk with your parents about getting a dog for the family(not just you). Tell them you will take responsibility for feeding and grooming the dog.





Good luck!
Volunteer at a shelter to prove that you are serious + capable of looking after a dog.





also, don't get a puppy if there isn't going to be anyone at home all day to train it and don't get a dog at all if everyone will be at work/school from approx. 8.30am-5pm.





a dog should only be left alone for a MAX of 4 hrs per day.





also, make sure you are willing to spend 1hr plus a day exersizing a dog.





also invest in plenty of dog books including training books etc.





if you are sure you can offer a good home to a dog, please adopt one from a shelter %26amp; save a life. :)
Tell them that you are already pretty mature and old and that you have a lot of responsibility.





Tell your parents that they should give you a chance to prove how responsible you are. Don't give them the burden.





Hope this helps!
Ask for a little sister. (It works every time(almost(well, not even almost(actually, its about a 25% chance(just to be realistic)))))
