Course & Workshop Summaries
New Adopters Home Transition Program
(Full Course)
A preventative approach and knowing how to proactively address problems in the early days of adoption can significantly reduce the likelihood of long term issues developing when your Romanian Rescue dogs first come home.
In this course I am excited to share with you information that will help your new arrival transition as smoothly as possible into their new life with you, with as minimal stress as possible for you all. Along with solutions to some of the most common problems I know come up for new adopters of Romanian dogs, there is lots of information on how to get things right from the get go, so those problems, that can cause stress, frustration and feelings of overwhelm, don't arise.
You will also find lots of proactive exercises that can prevent the development of other common challenges that I know have the potential to surface as your new arrival settles into the exciting world of being a part of your family.
ACE Free Work
(Mini Course)
Sarah Fishers ACE Free Work is a cornerstone activity that can be hugely beneficial for fearful, socially shy, and overreactive dogs. Free work can also be something that can help noise sensitive dogs, and dogs who tend to bark excessively at every tiny sound.
Once ACE Free Work is established as an activity, it can be used in a variety of ways to help fearful, nervous and anxious dogs grow in confidence and resilience. Not only can it help nervous dogs to move forward with the struggles they have, but it can also have a hugely positive impact on how they feel in general, helping to reduce daily baseline stress levels.
An introduction to Grid Walking
(Workshop)
In this workshop we will introduce you to the concept of Grid Walking and Grid Training, discuss the benefits and explain how it can be applied to some example situations.
The workshop will explain what exactly Grid Walking is and why it has been found to be so beneficial, especially for many Romanian & overseas rescue dogs who often find the world outside to be overwhelming.
Grid Walking can help build confidence and resilience as well as help our dogs to habituate to this strange world around them, and habituation is where they can learn to become unbothered by stuff and things.
The Rommie Plant Workshop
(+ Supporting Resources)
Many adopters of Romanian and overseas rescue dogs struggle with this behaviour of 'planting' on walks and point blank refusing to move in any direction.
During this workshop I will aim to provide you with a deep dive into the 'Rommie Plant' behaviour.

Meesh Masters
Meesh Masters is the founder and business owner at The Dog's Point of View and specialises in working with Romanian & Overseas Rescue dogs, providing educational resources for their adopters via remote one to one consultations, home study courses, webinars, training programs and her popular Adopters Coaching Group - The number one resource anywhere on the internet for Romanian and Overseas rescue dog information and support.
After becoming involved with Romanian Rescue dogs in 2015, both as a support advisor to new adopters and a fosterer herself, she was led to look deeper into the thinking, feeling, emotional depths of these dogs when things began feeling different about them.
She soon realised how the Romanian dogs were different to British born dogs, that their genetics and bloodline, being from street dogs and dogs that had evolved through more natural selection, meant they seemed to be more in tune with their instinctive nature's. She went on to learn that she needed to adjust the ways she interacted with and worked with these dogs, to accommodate their more instinctive and cautious characteristics. It became very evident that these dogs responded differently to 'training' in the conventional sense at times.
And so it became her passion to share everything she was learning, and is still learning, about the Romanian Dog's Point of View with as many adopters as possible. Today she is Patron of two Romanian Rescue Charities, Cloud K9 Rescue and Annie's Trust, she is also advisor to various other rescue organisations. She runs a course for qualified trainers, The Romanian Rescue Pro Trainers program, to help other canine professionals understand more about working with Romanian & foreign rescue dogs and their families, as many of them can be quite complex compared to working with British dogs. She has also launched an invaluable education & resource program for rescue organisations rehoming Romanian & Eastern European dogs, to help them & their volunteers to understand how to correctly support their adopters if they encounter basic problems.
Meesh is also now a certified Dynamic Dog Practitioner which qualifies her to complete detailed assessments of dogs in the areas of biomechanics, gait, movement & posture to determine whether there are any potential pain or discomfort issues that could be contributing to behaviour. This is an invaluable qualification to have given that her entire business focuses solely on supporting and working with adopters and canine professionals of predominantly Romanian but also other European street, rescue & shelter dogs. With the poor start many of these dogs have in life, along with the potential for them to have sustained untreated injuries, abuse and trauma prior to adoption, being able to assess for pain in a totally hands off, non-intrusive way is often the only way they can be assessed.
