Persuasive Speech On Pets As Children

In 2000, 68 million dogs were owned in the United States. In 2017, a total of around 89.7 million dogs in the United States alone, lived in a household. As the years past more and more people are adopting dogs. Some of those owners are new to having a pet and should learn how to take care of them.

Every dog is a responsibility, and it takes a kind hearted person to go through the process of adoption. Through shelters it’s about an hour process to adopt. They ask for your current pets (if there is any) vet, the phone number of the vet, every one who lives in the house phone number, so they can call and see if they are okay with having a new furry friend in the house. They give scenarios that could possibly happen with a new puppy in the house for example, what do you do if the puppy is digging in the yard? Or what do you do if the mailman comes to the door and the dog starts barking? The process is long but it is worth it. The shelters even off puppy training classes that’ll teach them household manners, which includes potty training, leash training so that they will be able to go on walks without having to wear a harness. You get so much out of adoption that you don’t get from pet stores that will not offer. With my new adoption I was offered classes for him. Puppy classes, intermediate, therapy dogs, than k9 classes.

Introduction: Today I will persuading my audience the benefits of getting a dog as a pet. Dogs can offer companionship, protection and even improve your health. Sixty eight percent of U.S households own a pet according to the 2017-2018 National Pet Owners Survey calculated by American Pet Products Association (APPA), and majority of the pets owned are dogs, weighing in at sixty percent. Dogs are domesticated animals that consist of various breeds such as Yorkie Terriers, German shepherds and more. There are over three hundred breeds according to the World Canine organization. This organization is the largest registry of certified dog breeds. This canine organization recognizes three hundred and thirty nine breeds of dogs which are classified into ten groups based on the dog’s function or size. There are various unique breeds that can fit into one’s specific lifestyle, giving no excuse not to have a dog to compliment ones personality.

If you have a pet, it is your own resonsiility to take care of them. If your dog doesn't want to be couped

The first big reason why pets should be allowed in schools is because it teaches the students good skills. According to the article “Pets Enhance Learning” pets can teach kids responsibility. One way pets teach kids responsibility is by teaching the kids to perform tasks that help the animal survive. This shows that kids will learn to be able to take care of another living thing. To add on to this, it also proves that kids will be taught how to do a job from a young age which will help them when they are older. The other piece of evidence I have as to why pets in the classroom will teach kids valuable skills is because it will teach them empathy. Empathy the ability to understand and share the feelings of another and pets in the classroom will make kids learn this. For example, as stated in the article “Should You Have A Pet in Your Classroom?” building empathy will enhance the desire to show animals with respect. Not only does this goes towards animals its also true towards humans. Most kids who have pets are more kind and empathetic towards both humans and animals. Also this proves empathy is important to other kids is because kids who are more empathetic have a way lower chance of bullying another human. This without a doubt shows that empathy is a great thing all students should learn and the easiest way to do that is with a classroom pet. Having a classroom pet would also motivate the students.

Canines are extremely messy, needy and smelly. They slobber, stink and need to be taken on walks. A dog will slobber on you and your things like a non-stop waterfall. They’re slobber, like the rest of their body reeks. Their smell will not only be on them but on you, your house and in your car. Wouldn’t you rather have an animal that keeps its saliva inside its mouth and hardly smells of anything? Unlike cats, dogs also have to be taken outside on walks to use the bathroom. A cat on the other hand will quietly use the litter box without your help. You could always let your dog out in

Owning a puppy is a big commitment for all family members, especially in the first few days or weeks. Everyone knows that cats and dogs are as different as day and night. Dogs will play frisbee with you all afternoon

There are many things to consider before adopting. First, bringing a dog into your life is a commitment of often, many years. Especially if you adopt a puppy. Adopting a puppy, you should be willing to commit 10-15 years on average, and be willing to take care of that dog through sickness and through health. Making sure all family members in the household are on board for this is also very important. Considering the ages of your family members is important as well. Having young kids in the home, you may want to think twice about adopting a very young puppy or a very small breed that is under 15 pounds. Young children do not understand how to act around dogs, especially ones on the smaller size and accidents can happen. The new dog must fit the physical capabilities of everyone in the household as well or at least the main

Think about how we will look back on our cruel forms of entertainment in the future. Will we be proud of the way we treated these great animals, with abuse as neglect? Today we turn our heads away from reality and what happens behind the scenes of animal entertainment. However, we can’t turn our heads forever. Around the world, there is so much more to animal entertainment than what meets the eye. These animals have been torn away from their beautiful, natural homes and brought to a prison of concrete. In these prisons, they are beaten, starved and tortured all for our money and entertainment. These animals lives should not be taken from them for us. Our money and happiness should not be worth these animal’s lives. Circus, theme park and zoo animals all suffer from aggression towards trainers, mental disabilities and physical injuries. These animals should not have to suffer any longer.

The dog becomes the child’s constant companion, the sense of loneliness is taken away from the child. The children in these cases reported increased physical independence and freedom from relying on others to assit in daily tasks (Davis 136). The dogs undergo serious training before being placed with the child. Sometimes the dog and child would actually meet weeks leading up to the placement to warm up to eachother before permanent placement. The parent is the primary handler, the dog is trained to guide the child but ultimately take orders or listen to the parent. The dog is tethered to the child by a harness and put on a leash that the parent carries, this gives the child freedom and the parent security, the dog controls the child from darting off.

I believe many of us had expected to have a pet when we were a little child. Maybe a dog, a cat or even a fish, we tried to convince our parents by promising to take care of our pets, clean their rooms, be responsible, not fight with each other anymore. However, due to some reasons, maybe our bad habits, parents can’t believe we will change, just for getting a pet. Some of the parents might think our interests in pets will only stay a while, but that’s not true.

Many people buy the pets they want, but there are rarely any human beings that actually adopt. Let me ask you a simple question. Do you usually buy your pets from a breeder, or do you actually go out and search for the one to adopt? Many of you will say buy from a breeder, but that’s okay. Let me just list my facts and you think them over. Maybe I can get your opinion to change.

healthy dog is a happy dog, and we all want our pets to be as happy as possible. But do you know what you can do to help your dog be (and stay) in tip-top condition from puppyhood right through to his senior years? Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. The journey to a healthier pet, however, begins with eight simple steps. STEP 1: THE RIGHT DIET The old health campaign slogan that “you are what you eat” applies just as
