REACTIVITY TO VISITORS - Workshop + Supporting Resources
2 Hour Workshop (Recording) + Workbook + Supporting Resources & video demo's
Workshop Summary
The Visitors Are Coming!
Help your dog feel calmer and more relaxed when guests arrive.
Many Romanian and overseas dogs struggle with strangers in the home. It’s instinctive for them to be cautious of unfamiliar people and it’s one of the top challenges adopters come to me for help with.
The truth? Tossing out a few treats is not likely to fix it.
And in fact, having your visitors toss treats to your visitor reactive dog can actually make the problem worse in many cases.
Without the right foundations, every visitor can reinforce your dog’s fear or dislike of strangers - keeping you stuck in a frustrating cycle.
That’s why this workshop is perfect for you.
👉 Why online learning works best here:
Even if you lived next door to me, I wouldn’t start by coming into your home. My presence alone could put your dog on edge, making it impossible for them to learn. Dogs (like us!) can’t absorb anything when stressed. This is why preparing before visitors arrive is so important.
👉 What you’ll get from this workshop:
☑️ A 2 hour workshop recording providing you with a deeper understanding and a clear plan of action to start seeing progress
☑️ Practical strategies to help your dog stay calmer and more relaxed when visitors are in the house
☑️ A 30 page PDF workbook to help you get clear on your progress plan
☑️ Guidance on how to create positive visitor experiences instead of repeating negative ones
☑️ Clarity on what not to do (so you don’t accidentally make things harder)
This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about setting the right foundations so your dog can truly start to feel more comfortable around visitors, instead of you going round in circles for months (or even years).
👉 Important to know:
While this workshop can’t cover every unique situation, it can give you the tools and knowledge to stop unhelpful patterns and start building progress. For deeper or more complex cases, I always recommend working 1-1 with a qualified, force-free professional. But I also know not everyone can access that straight away - so this workshop ensures you still have solid guidance to move forward.

Meesh Masters
Hello! My name is Meesh Masters, founder of The Dog’s Point of View, and I specialise in working with Romanian and overseas rescue dogs. My mission is to help adopters and canine professionals truly understand and support these incredible dogs through one-to-one consultations, home study courses, webinars, workshops, and my Adopters Coaching Group - the leading online resource for Romanian and overseas rescue dog support.
My journey with these dogs began in 2015 when I started fostering and supporting new adopters. It quickly became clear that Romanian dogs were different from UK-born dogs. Their lineage - shaped by street life and natural selection - means they rely heavily on instinct and don’t always respond to conventional training methods.
Learning to work with them in a way that respected their nature changed everything for me, and I’ve been sharing that knowledge ever since.
Today, I’m proud to be Patron of Cloud K9 Rescue and Annie’s Trust and to advise several other rescue organisations. I also run the Romanian Rescue Pro Trainers Program for qualified trainers and have developed an education and resource program for rescues rehoming Romanian and Eastern European dogs, helping volunteers and adopters feel more confident in supporting them.
Everything I do is about helping adopters and professionals work with these dogs, in a way that truly aligns with who and how they are as individuals, rather than ignoring their ingrained natural instincts, so they can thrive in their new homes.

Down to earth and common-sense guidance
Meesh explains things in a really understandable way that makes complete sense. I had several ah-ha moments. Meesh is able to break it down and make it seem less daunting and more achievable. Thank you.
