    The Dogs Of Turkey: What Is Really Happening? - Interview With Dominic Dyer

    Send us Fan Mail In episode  42 of We Love Dogs, I’m joined by wildlife protection campaigner, writer and broadcaster Dominic Dyer for a conversation about one of the most difficult and upsetting animal-welfare issues currently facing dogs in Turkey. You may have seen some of the videos and photographs circulating online showing the treatment of Turkey’s street dogs. Some of the footage is incredibly distressing, but with so much information, footage and claims being shared online, it can be difficult to know exactly what is happening, what has been documented and what can actually be verified. So in this episode, I wanted to go beyond the social-media headlines and ask Dominic some difficult questions. We talk about the history of Turkey’s street-dog population and the culture of community dogs, what has changed in recent years, and the legislation affecting street dogs. Dominic explains what he has seen and learned through his campaigning, the evidence surrounding reports of dogs being removed and killed, and some of the disturbing claims involving poisoning, shooting and mass graves. We also discuss the importance of separating verified evidence from allegations and unverified information, and how people can be more careful when sharing upsetting content online. But this isn’t simply a conversation about the horrific side of the situation. We also look at the public-safety argument, whether Turkey genuinely has a street-dog population problem, and whether there are more humane and effective ways of managing the population. Dominic explains the potential role of: 🐾 Neutering and spaying 🐾 Vaccination and microchipping 🐾 Catch-neuter-vaccinate-return programme 🐾 Properly funded shelters 🐾 International pressure and campaigning We also talk about the Turkish rescuers and ordinary people trying to help these dogs, and what people in the UK can realistically do if they want to support animals affected by the situation. And, because this is We Love Dogs, we look at the bigger question behind all of this: What happens when dogs become inconvenient to humans, and where should the balance lie between protecting people and protecting animals? This is an emotional and difficult subject, but the aim of this episode is to have an informed conversation — to ask questions, examine the evidence and allow Dominic to explain what he knows from his experience as a long-standing animal and wildlife campaigner.

A note from Cheryl Some of the material discussed in this episode is extremely upsetting. The purpose of this conversation isn’t to sensationalise what is happening, but to understand the situation, ask difficult questions and look at the evidence and potential solutions.

    Are You Expecting Too Much From Your Dog? - Why Expectations Matter

    Send us Fan Mail This episode is sponsored by Lorraine Tester, Dynamic Dog Practitioner. As a listener of the We Love Dogs Podcast, you can book a Dynamic Dog Assessment for the exclusive listener price of just £150. Find out more at Dynamic Dog Assessment and quote WELOVEDOGS150 when booking In this solo episode, Cheryl is talking about something she see's almost every day as a dog trainer: the expectations we place on our dogs. Why won’t they walk nicely on the lead? Why do they still bark, jump up or ignore us when we’ve been working so hard on their training? The truth is, the problem isn’t always the behaviour itself—it can be the expectations we have around it. We’ll explore why age, learning history, environment, health and emotions all play a huge role in your dog’s behaviour, and why expecting too much, too soon, can leave both you and your dog feeling frustrated. This isn’t about lowering your standards or making excuses for unwanted behaviour. It’s about understanding the dog in front of you, setting them up for success, and building a stronger relationship through realistic expectations and thoughtful training. Whether you’re struggling with your own dog’s behaviour or simply want a fresh perspective, I hope this episode leaves you feeling encouraged, supported and a little kinder—to both your dog and yourself. If this episode resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another dog owner who might need to hear this conversation.
