I can hardly imagine a worse thing to give or use on a dog. Turpentine, if ingested, could be fatal. If used on the skin or feet of the dog could cause burns and skin irritation. It is not clear what the turpentine would be used for but this is a bad idea. If in doubt always consult your vet.

She is talking about 100% pure mineral spirits(turpentine) used in humans for decades in the early 1900's(now coming back in use over the past decade) it is not harmful, like everything else, its all in the dose(water can be lethal in a high enough dosage

It can be and is used to rid dogs of parasites. One drop for every 2 pounds. I used it for my dog following the Dr. Jennifer Daniels schedule. My dog had no harmful effects at all.
