    • Do everything and anything they ask you to do and always offer help. This is how I'm getting a a pair of toco toucan and a Hyacinth macaw. Yeah, bro. It works.

    • Well how old are you? If you're around 10, I'd go for a fish (beta fish are very pretty). If you're 13, research hamsters (you feed them, water them, change their bedding).Start taking up some chores around the house without being asked. If they see responsibility and you create a plan as to how you will care for the animal, they are more likely to allow you to have a pet.Personally, I love gerbils. They're just social hamsters.Good luck!

    • You have to stick with what you say. Tell them how responsible you will be. Start doing extra things around the house. Drop hints but don't beg is my advice.

    • Lets say you want to get a dog. (just my example)Well, responsibility is key.if you are the one that would like to responsible over the dog, then you have to pay for everything.lemme tell you, it's hard to own a dog.it's not just playing fetch, and petting & treats, it's hard work, it's something you have to commit to.there are a lot of things you need to buy when getting a dog.1. the actual dog2. dog bed3. dog leash & collar (with tag)4. dog food (which will need to be bought almost every month)(kibble & moist food)5. dog toys6. dog treats7. vet bills & medical care (costs for deworming & shots)8. dog kennel9. brush10. pee pads11. dog shampoo& theres more, i just cant think of it all right now.think about it, can you pay for all expenses?i know how it is to want a dog, i want one too, ever since i was 3 (i still dont have one), but theres hard work, too.the cost of all the things i listed is thousands of dollars, or more, hope you can pay for it. :)now... to answer your question (LOL), my friend always wanted a dog too, and she has one now! her method is to show responsibility. eg. do extra chores, help out more... etc.but dont bragg about it, let your parents notice it.what else you could do is write out a long-ish essay on how responsible you are. write out about the breed. (the longer, the smarter you look)now, IF IT STILL DOESNT WORK, then your left with this one and only option.ask them with puppy eyes and everything, "PLEASEE?!?!?"(most likely they will still say no, so then you say...)"Fine! but can i have a dog in six months?"they'll say yes to that, because they hope you will forget by then.so, what you do is write out a clear and informative contract about you getting the dog, and them agreeing to it.(make sure they sign it)then, this six months will give you enough time to plan out everything. btw, PLEASE GET YOUR DOGGIE FROM AN ANIMAL SHELTER!there are so many pups and dogs there, wishing for a home, living miserable lives, and 50% of them will be put down because they could not find homes in the required amount of time :(please adopt. BUT DO NOT GET YOUR DOGGIE FROM THE PET STORE!dogs from the pet store come from puppy mills, which is a terrible animal cruelty zone.(search up puppy mills if you are unsure on what it is)& dogs from puppy mills are more prone to sicknesses and health issues because of the horrible conditions they were raised in.ANYWAY, when six months have passed, show the contract, and tell them, "Hey mom & dad, it's time for me to get a dog!!!!"and hopefully, YOU GET A DOG!!!! :D(it worked for my friend, hopefully it works for you)training is not as easy as you think. lets start with potty training. that takes three to four months already. then how often will you be home? TIP: get your dog in the summer, that way you will be free everyday to train it, until the dog gains Independence, and can be home by itself for longer then a puppy can. :)(unless you go to camp.)And its great that you already know all about the dog.it's really helpful to buy a couple dog training books, they are very useful to first time pet owners.(i have bunnies, and i got two bunny training books, HELPED ME SO MUCH!)Umm... i think i've said all i need to say. :)GOOD LUCK! & HOPE YOU GET YOUR PUPPY!!!! :D :)

    • First you need to decide what kind of animal you want to get. If you don't have a lot of free time for cage cleaning, maybe a dog or cat would be best for you. Make sure that your family doesn't have allergies to the pet that you want to get. Next he best way to convince your parents is to take an hour or so, and do solid research on the pet that you want.Research their feeding/eating habits, suitability for a family etc.After your research, type a essay using your own words, about why getting a pet is a great idea. Write in the essay that you'll do ALL your chores on time, you'll clean up after the pet, feed it, and also offer to pay for food/accessories and vet care (many parents don't get pets because of the costs) Print the article and give it to your parents to read. If they say 'no', do not cry or whine about it, because in a few months, they might change their minds and agree to getting you a pet. If they say 'we'll think about it', do not pester them, or beg, but give them some time. Maybe 2 weeks or so. If 'yes' is their answer, remember to keep your promises, so they don't regret the new pet.Oh, one last thing I'd mention....do not say mean things to or about your parents as they would definitely not want you to get one. And, if they say a firm 'NO' even after a few months, wait till your next birthday. Then, you can tell them that you want a pet for your birthday. They would probably give in then. During that time, do a lot of research on the pet you want, and show them cute pictures too....that might work too:)) All the best!...make sure that you don't chose a pet that is too difficult to care for. For example, don't get a snake since you are a beginner pet owner. A dog is great for a first timer, but just make sure you know how to train it correctly, and house break it. All the best!Whatever you do, don't cry to them about it, or it'll show you are NOT responsible.
