WEBINAR: Living with Anxious / Sensitive Romanian Rescue Dogs
In this webinar, learn practical strategies to help your anxious Romanian dogs feel safe, build confidence & thrive in their new life with you.
Webinar Overview
🐕 Do you have an anxious or seemingly overly sensitive dog?
😟 Do you worry whether you're supporting them in the right way?
🤔 Do you wonder if there's more you could be doing - or something different - that may help reduce their anxiety or sensitivity?
Many Romanian and overseas rescue dogs can have an anxious or sensitive nature. This doesn’t necessarily stem from fear or past trauma; often, it’s simply that these dogs are more sensitive in how they perceive and respond to the world around them. As a result, they may struggle to cope with environments or situations that other dogs handle with ease.
For adopters of these sensitive dogs, it can feel like a constant worry, trying to figure out whether you’re doing the right things to support them. With so much conflicting advice available, whether online, from rescues, or even professionals, it can be overwhelming to know who to trust and what approach is truly best for your dog.
This webinar will give you the clarity, tools, and techniques you need to confidently support dogs who are easily overwhelmed, have a generally anxious nature or show heightened sensitivities to events or experiences in daily life.
You’ll learn how to reduce their stress and worry (which in turn will help to reduce yours!) and how to take proactive steps to build their confidence and resilience. From understanding their behaviour and seeing the world through their eyes, to creating environments where they feel heard, supported & safe, this session will empower you with the knowledge and skills to help your dog not just survive but truly thrive in their life with you.
PLEASE NOTE: This webinar does not cover specific high anxiety issues - it is geared more towards supporting a generally anxious or sensitive dog who is easily overwhelmed in day-to-day life. If your dog is extremely fearful, struggles with things like separation anxiety or has a history of trauma, whilst the information in this webinar will still be valuable for you, it’s likely you’ll also need more in-depth, tailored guidance to fully understand what’s happening for your dog on a physiological level, such as how fear or trauma may have rewired their information processing systems and natural behavioural responses.

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.
