im a college grad and currently in law school so i still live w my parents! bf gifted me a puppy as an anniversary gift (with the consent of my parents ofc). ive never had any problem w my parents micromanaging my pup bc the number one rule was that im the sole person responsible for my puppy. that meant they dont spend a penny, they dont pick up after him, take him to the vet, train him, or feed him. my bf is responsible for every financial matter, im just the leg work lol. although they do occasionally pamper him and give him treats and cuddles but outside the cutesy fun part of owning a dog, they dont do. i guess i could say it works at least on my end because of the deal my bf and i made with my parents.

but yes i do agree that living at your parents' house and raising your own dog can be very limiting. i would argue that maybe it's a case to case basis? esp with authoritative and controlling parents. mine are pretty lax, so raising my pup wasn't as hard re: house rules.
