Our Team
Robyn Eshelby-Theart
My name is Robyn and I am the founder and managing director of Tiny Town and Farm Girls. My wife, Retha, and I have a gorgeous animal-mad daughter, too. We share our home here on the farm with 13 dogs, 12 cats, 5 horses, 2 cows, 2 donkeys, 1 goat, 2 rabbits, 1 tortoises, many chickens and all of the wildlife that passes through.
My experience with dogs started as a small child – always more interested in dogs than in people, keenly observing and getting to feel what dogs mean when they exhibit certain behaviours. It’s been an ongoing quest from all those years ago and it became my full time vocation in 2011 when I kicked corporate to the curb and ran out our front door to play with dogs full time.
I hold an internationally accredited diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour from the British College of Canine Studies as well as various certificates from the Dunbar Academy, Victoria Stilwell Academy, Ethology Institute Cambridge and more, and I am constantly striving to learn and improve.
