Course & Workshop Summaries
Understanding Romanian Dogs
(Mini course)
A short course designed to provide a better understanding of who your Romanian dog is, why they are different to British dogs and what this may mean for you as pet parents. One of the most common things that can cause problems for new and even existing adopters, is not realising how and why your Romanian family member is different and the kinds of things you might expect in terms of behaviour.
When experiencing problems with Romanian dogs, this information can be invaluable in knowing that you may need to approach things in a slightly different way to take into account a Romanian Dog's Point of View.
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.
What it is?
Why does it happen?
What does it mean?
How can you prevent it from happening? How do you handle it if/when it does happen?
An Introduction to Signs of Pain
(Workshop)
Understanding the correlation between pain and behaviour is an incredibly important part of living with dogs, because obviously they can't tell us when they're uncomfortable because of joint pain, or their ears feel painful, or their tummy feels sore.
But actually, often they are telling us; In how they behave and in how they move (or don't as the case may be) as well as through many subtle signs that may seem insignificant to us if we don't know what to watch out for.
Certain aspects of their physical appearance can also give us clues, and an introduction to all of this is what we cover in this workshop.
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.

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.
