well first i was all exited that we were getting a doggy finnally but then when i went inside the house the cage was in my sisters room so then i asked why is it iin her room my mom said shes gunna train it so then i got sad and the only thing i can do is play with it i cant feed it take him a bath nothing all i can do is play with also i probally will end up not doing it because my sisters gunna say "ITS MY DOG DONT TOUCH HIM!!!" even though its both of are dog so yea now im a little disapointed

about the training...if its not potty trained ur dog might make a..."acciedent" in the cage and probably stink ur sisters room
and ur sister shouldnt be soo mean 'bout it

yea but whatever ill probally just tell my mom then she will get in trouble uh but (still sad) and she stinks anyway or her room

Well, your sister should be better with it but at least she's not like my neighbor. He was walking up the small steps on his porch when his little dog started running to see him. He stepped on the little puppy and when she went running to the door to get away, he started to laugh! D8 He may be seven years old but once he came home crying like a two year old! Either way, tell your mother. If your sister is going to be like that, she shouldn't be the trainer. I'm the trainer with my dog, yet I take responsible care with him.

What you should do:
Tell your mom/dad
Explain you should be the one to train him/her

Talk to your sister about:
What kind of training the dog needs
Be firm yet kind

Let your parents decide who will be training the dog. If two or more, the dog will be confused. Its your choice but I'd refrain with the baby talk for some dogs find this very offensive.

It worked for me so you might want to do:
Buy a clicker
A harness may work at first

PM me if you have any questions

thanks i did but i

updated take a look

The dog doesn't need to be in the trainers room. You're just spoiling the thing then. Put it in the living room/ kitchen/ laundry room. (We put ours in the laundry room when we had one.)

The one that is home the most should train the dog. Dogs like attention and will listen better to the person that gives them the most. So maybe you should tell your parents that, because once school starts your parents will probaly be home way more than you. It would be unpleasant for them to have a dog that won't listen to them when you or your sister isn't around. Plus you know for shure that you and your sister get even time with the dog.

I understand where you're coming from, but taking care of a dog is hard work. It's not just something that's fun to do at first, and then when you get tired of it, you can give up the responsibilites. Dogs, especially puppies, are like babies. They're demanding, they make you drop everything to cater to them, and they can't tell you what they need; you have to be able to figure it out for yourself.

I wouldn't recommend getting another dog. At least, not until the first one is used to your family, or vice versa. It's twice the work, and not to mention the cost of raising a pet. It's not just the initial cost of the puppy that you need to worry about, it's all the extra stuff: dog food, vet visits, rabies tags and vaccinations, etc etc. Vet visits cost my family about $300 every time we take our two dogs. And that's just routine checkups.

But, if you want to help take care of the dog, see if you and your sister can share the responsibilities. Maybe one of you takes the dog out in the morning, the other one in the afternoon. Or you could feed it. There's a lot of work in taking care of a dog, so I'm sure you could find something to help out with.

nahhh thats where your both wrong first kitty my mom is like never home she gets home at 5:30 everyday so yea and eternal silence i dont know if you get it but the dog can only have ONE master or he will get cunfused and if i got a dog on my own there they would play here is a pic of the one were getting and the one i want...


the one were getting



and the one i want

or this one

Yes, the dog should have only one master, who's usually the person who feeds and walks it, but it should respond to anybody else. You don't necessarily have to be the master in order to help out. It'd be good to learn how to do it, in case your sister was gone for the night or something.

If your sister is older than you, that might be why she gets to take care of it primarily.

no thats where your wrong again because we dont care how old we are its because she thinks shes home more but its ok noone will understand till THEY have to do it

Nah, I understand. I've got two of 'em. ^^ Dogs are pack animals; even if your sister is the one taking care of it as far as feeding, walking, etc, there's no reason the dog won't love you just as much. Think of it this way: you get all the benefits of having a dog, without any of the chores that go with it. ^^ And if you really, really want to chip in, just tell your parents that you want to help out, like taking him out before you go to school in the morning or something. There's an expression, "It takes a village to raise a child." Well, it takes a house to take care of a dog. ^^

you should continue..practice makes perfect!

its ooook too MUCH drama i would get stressed like my sister is starting to get heheheh im not gunna get one

i suggest you show her who's boss..XD

In fact, consider it a good thing the dog sleeps in your sister's room. Whenever mine sleeps in my room, she wakes me up at all hours of the morning. Waking up to a cold, wet dog nose and a 30+ pound dog (they grow FAST) jumping all over you is not the most pleasant thing in the world.

Oh,youre right ES!though my dog doesnt sleep in my room i keep my door open slightly and sometimes in the mornings he licks my face,and trust me sometimes he licks me for about 2 minutes sometimes
and sometimes jumps on my bed
