The practical experience and guidance Erin received from experienced professionals during their multiple mentorships have instilled in them the belief that they have found their true calling.

We always love a good success story here at MentorAbility, and Erin’s journey learning the ins-and-outs of dog grooming certainly fits that bill! They recently embarked on a series of mentorships with “On the Go” Dog Grooming in Dundalk and walked away feeling confident that they found their calling.

Erin initially set out to be a dog walker, but through their own research they quickly discovered an interest in dog grooming and decided to learn this skillset instead. To ensure the best experience for Erin, multiple mentorships were planned with ‘On the Go’ Dog Grooming.  

Their multiple experiences provided a valuable opportunity to learn tips, tricks, and techniques from experienced professionals in the field. The experience provided Erin with new insights and practical knowledge, allowing them to build a solid foundation in the art of dog grooming.

As Erin progressed through their mentorships, they gained confidence in their own abilities and felt more and more comfortable grooming dogs. They honed their skills while acquiring the expertise needed to handle different breeds, temperaments, and grooming styles.  

The excellent guidance and support provided by Erin’s mentors at “On the Go” Dog Grooming encouraged Erin to pursue their dream career and become more knowledgeable in dog grooming. They are excited about the future and looking forward to becoming a skilled professional, armed with the knowledge and expertise they gained from this MentorAbility experience.

Great job, Erin. You’ll make an excellent dog groomer!
