After becoming involved with Romanian dogs in 2015, Meesh soon realized how different these dogs were to British born dogs, how their genetics and bloodline meant their instinctive natures were much closer to the surface than with British dogs who have been selectively bred for generations. It became evident very quickly that these dogs responded differently to training in the conventional sense at times, and a far more holistic and relationship-focused approach was the key to seeing progress and behavioural change. So, it became her passion to share everything she was learning, and still is, about the Romanian & foreign rescue dog's point of view with as many people as possible.
