If you already have one dog, and clean up after it and take care of it, then that should do it right there. Plus, 2 dogs are really not that much more work than 1 dog. In fact, when i got my second dog, my first dog became much less demanding of me. Also with an older dog, sometimes it helps them to get a younger dog in the house. My in-laws had an 11 year old dog that was very lethargic and then got a puppy and their 11 year old became much more energetic and happy. If they are not sure, talk to a dog foster agency about letting you foster a dog. Your parents might be more amenable to a fostering than buying a dog outright. Plus you can help keep a dog from being possibly euthanized and free up other foster parents. If you prove to your parents with the foster dog that you are capable of taking care of 2 dogs, then they might let you either adopt your foster, or let you get your own after the foster puppy is adopted out. Good luck!
Well for starters, how about trying the following:


#1 Cleaning your room and making sure that it STAYS clean and tidy.


#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.


#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.


#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.


#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters %26amp; brothers.


#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make ';yuck'; faces when given it.


#7 Don't talk rudly to adults


#8 Always share with other kids.


#9 Go to bed when you are told to.


#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.


# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.





If 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to your life and family. :)
Well if you took or take care of that dog really well and still take care of business then i say thats is your strongest point tell them that responsibility is the key to structure and patience. and then remind them how well you were doing with this one dog.
There ya go:

Show Them You Are Responsible


STRESS THE ISSUE OVER AND OVER THAT YOU DESERVE A DOG MORE SO THAN WANT 1
You show them how responsible you are, do well in school (if your doing bad they would want you to focus more)
yes i agree with the above poster. tell them it will help you learn responsibility which teaches patience and structure.
Tell them it teaches responsibility and many other qualities
