  • Forced interviewing, unpleasant technique.

    The first podcast I listened to of hers and Anna was forcing the person she was interviewing to get to the point, saying: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, honestly, go, go, go.”

    From A Dog's Life with Anna Webb: WSAVA Report on Neutering, 23 Jun 2024

    She should have just let her explain her point in her own way rather than forcing her to speed up leading to a jumbled answer, interviewing is not about interrupting. Not the best way to lead an interview and unpleasant to listen to. Shame as I was recommen... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No Need To Walk Alone
Q: So how is this different? There's other apps where you can scroll and find someone in your area that might want to dog-sit your dog, but you don't know those people.
Webster says MorePaws prioritizes community and warm introductions through walks, helping owners get to know one another and their dogs before potentially sharing care.
No Need To Walk Alone
Q: Tell us a bit about MorePaws, Ry, what it is.
Webster describes MorePaws as a community-driven app where dog owners can find and message one another, join or host group walks, and build friendships and support networks.
The PDSA PAW Report
Q: Do you see at the moment a correlation at the PDSA? Higher cost of living equals getting rid of your dog?
Ewers-Clark says rising costs can contribute to people relinquishing pets, and rehoming charities are under pressure. She encourages owners to look for veterinary care, pet food banks, and other support, and to use responsible rehoming charities if they cannot keep a pet.
The PDSA PAW Report
Q: Would you agree that we are at a crisis now with man's best friend?
Ewers-Clark says expectations of dogs are changing as they become more integrated into families, but owners can have gaps in their understanding of dogs' needs. Preparation can help close those gaps.
Dogs For Good
Q: What kinds of conditions do Dogs For Good dogs assist with, and how do they decide which dogs are suited for which roles?
The organization works across a spectrum of needs—from mobility and independence for older or physically disabled individuals to supporting children with autism or dementia. Dogs are trained and matched to each client's needs, and the process includes ongoing training and adaptation after placement to ensure the partnership remains effective.
