PRO COURSE - for TRAINERS & BEHAVIOUR CONSULTANTS
Understand the differences when working with Romanian rescue dogs - graduate to become an RR Pro Recommended Trainer
Program Summary
Are you a Qualified Dog Training & Behaviour Professional working with an
increasing number of Romanian or Foreign Rescue Dogs?
The number of Romanian and Eastern European rescue dogs in the UK has risen dramatically in recent years, creating a growing demand for trainers and behavior professionals who truly understand these dogs and their unique needs. Many adopters find themselves overwhelmed, and unfortunately, not all professionals have the knowledge or experience to offer the right kind of support.
Romanian and overseas rescue dogs aren’t just "like any other dog"—they are wired differently from British-bred dogs and often present unique behavioral challenges. Their instincts, sensitivities, and responses to training require a deeply informed, compassionate approach to achieve real progress.
As the founder of The DOG’s Point of View, I have dedicated my career to working with these dogs and their families since 2015. Time and again, I see clients who have struggled to find professionals who truly understand these dogs - sometimes receiving well-intended but misguided advice that does more harm than good. That’s why I created the Romanian Rescue Pro Trainer Program.
This program is designed specifically for trainers and behavior consultants who want to develop expertise in working with Romanian and other natural world dogs, ensuring they can offer the most effective and ethical support for both the dogs and their adopters.
What’s Inside the Program?
🐕 A comprehensive understanding of the unique instincts, sensitivities, and behavioral patterns of Romanian & overseas rescue dogs.
🐕 Holistic, emotionally-aware training methods tailored to these dogs’ specific needs.
🐕 Business development resources, including guidance on working remotely, structuring progress plans for complex cases, and positioning yourself as a trusted expert in this field.
🐕 Everything I’ve learned from years of hands-on experience living with and working with hundreds of Romanian & overseas rescues - so you can fast-track your success.
This isn’t just a training course; it’s a specialist program designed to help you become a leader in the field of Romanian & overseas rescue dog training.
If you’re ready to deepen your knowledge, refine your approach, and build a thriving business working with these incredible dogs, I’d love to have you join us!

What Do Some of Our Graduates Have to Say About the Program?
"This is undoubtedly one of the best courses I have taken. Meesh is clearly extremely knowledgeable on the subject and has shared that knowledge generously in the course. There is plenty of information on what to expect with the Rescue dog and why and lots of ideas on how best to support Adopters moving forward. Add to that the excellent presentation and the discussions and support of likeminded professionals. It all adds up to money well spent!"

"I feel that even experienced trainers would benefit from this programme. Romanian/overseas dogs are very different and many need a totally different approach. The course covers the process of working with these dogs right from the start. Meesh coaches in a relaxed manner and it is impossible to not share in her passion to help these dogs."

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.
I am a fully qualified & fully insured Dog Trainer & Canine Behaviour Consultant.
I am a member of or have been certified / verified by the following organisations.

Great Course
This is a brilliant course for getting to know Romanian dogs, how they can be different from our UK dogs and how to support their owners. Having 2 Romanian dogs of my own it's great to have that deeper understanding and would highly recommend this course to anyone who works with dogs from Romania.
