Episode 37 is LIVE!

This week’s episode of We Love Dogs is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

I’m joined by Maya Badham from Loop Safeguarding to explore a subject that many people in the dog world may never have considered—the connection between dogs, animal welfare, and domestic abuse.

Throughout our conversation, Maya shares her knowledge and experience, helping us understand how the welfare of animals and the welfare of people are often more closely linked than we realise. We discuss the role dogs can play in coercive and controlling relationships, why awareness matters, and how dog professionals and owners can better understand the bigger picture behind some of the situations they encounter.

This is a sensitive topic, but it’s one that deserves attention. Conversations like this can be uncomfortable, but they also have the power to educate, raise awareness, and ultimately help both people and animals.

⚠️ Please note: this episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, trauma, and animal harm.

If any of the issues discussed affect you personally, support is available through the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.

A huge thank you to Maya for sharing her expertise and for the incredible work she continues to do in this field.

This was one of the most thought-provoking conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

I was joined by the brilliant Maya Badham to talk about a difficult but incredibly important topic: the connection between dogs, animal welfare, and domestic abuse.

⚠️ Content warning: this episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, and animal harm.

It’s not an easy conversation, but it’s one that left a lasting impression on me, and I think it will on many of you too.

Keep an eye out for the full episode coming soon.
