Robyn joined Merrist Wood in November 2023 as a Dog Grooming Lecturer to teach the Level 1 Merrist Wood Dog Grooming for Beginners and Level 2 City and Guilds Dog Grooming Assistant Course. During this time, Robyn has seen students flourish and achieve their awards and become more confident within themselves providing a great grooming experience.
She enjoys new people coming into the world of grooming and watching their confidence build over the course; seeing that they are learning a new skill that they can take away and knowing dog grooming is more than just giving a dog a good haircut. They take away skills like reading a dog’s behaviour/body language, being able to adapt to the dog’s needs, knowing how to handle a dog correctly and safely, and making grooming a better experience for themselves and the dog. Robyn has been teaching for 3 years and prior to gaining my qualifications, trained members of staff and apprentices for over 10 years.
