Mother, I'm gonna say, "Thank you"
Even if I'm still hurt
Oh, I'm gonna say, "Bless you"
I wanna mean those words
Always wished you the best
I, I prayed for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me
You did your best, or did you?
Sometimes, I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feeling this
I can't believe I'm saying it
I know you were a troubled woman
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance
Mother, I'm gonna say, "Thank you"
Even if I don't understand
Oh, you left us alone
I guess that made me who I am
Always wished you the best
I, I, I pray for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me
You did your best, or did you?
Sometimes, I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feeling this
I can't believe I'm saying it
I know you were a troubled woman
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
Ooh, oh-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
You did your best, or did you?
Sometimes, I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feeling this
I can't believe I'm saying it
I know you were a troubled woman
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance

When we punish dogs for growling, even if they’re growling at our child, we aren’t helping them feel better about whatever it is that is threatening them. Instead, we are teaching to stop letting us know when they feel unsafe.

The result? A dog who stops giving us warning signs and “bites out of the blue.”
And, that’s how we create dangerous dogs. I’d much rather have a dog growl and tell me they’re upset (so we have a chance to intervene and help them) than a dog who just bites without any warning signs.

There is a lingering misconception that using force free and fear free methods consists of just ignoring any 'bad' behaviour and giving a dog food. The reality is that force free training is so much more than that.

It requires an understanding of the history of dogs, why they do the things that they do and how to change their behaviour. Of how to manage the dog's environment so they don't get to practice the behaviour we don't want to see while reinforcing the behaviours we do want - dogs do what works for them so reinforcing alternative behaviours makes the original behaviour much less likely to repeat.

Most of all it means having an understanding of the dog in front of us, their needs, likes and dislikes, so that we can help them with their fears or show them the behaviours their humans would like without danger of fear and pain, or of the dog becoming frustrated or scared.
