⭑Presenter Bio Robyn Hood⭑
Robyn Hood, a senior instructor, is the sister of Linda Tellington-Jones and has been involved with the development of the Tellington TTouch Method since 1982. Since 1986 she has taught the Tellington Method in Canada, the US, Europe, Australia, Russia and South Africa.
Robyn began riding horses before she could walk and has been involved with breeding, training and showing horses ever since. In 1975 she started importing and breeding Icelandic horses. At one point there were 200 Icelandics on the farm, and now the numbers are down to about 32.
Since 1986 she has been teaching the Tellington TTouch® Method on a full-time basis in Canada, the US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Russia. TTouch started with horses and in 1994 we started teaching TTouch for dogs and other companion animals. Robyn has given demonstrations and lectures at various venues including Spruce Meadows, Equitana USA and Australia, APDT Australia Conferences, CAPPDT Conference in Saskatchewan, Veterinary Schools and Conferences, International Humane Society Conference in Vienna and Murdoch University in Perth.
Robyn has also written and published several TTouch related publications to enhance the ongoing development and refinement of the Tellington TTouch Method including “All Wrapped Up: For Pets”, “All Wrapped Up: For Horses”, “All Wrapped Up: For You”, and “Harnessing Your Dog’s Perfection”.
Because Of The Horse...
I have learned to look beyond behaviour and dig deeper. There is always a reason.
