Is this you, Shmoop?

  • …you’ve been grooming for a little while, and feel lost when it comes to basics or where to start? 

  •  …you’re a pet parent who wants to give your floof baby profesh-level baths and haircuts at home, but are intimidated by the ‘how?’

  •  …you’re a bather, a dog-lover, or answer the phones at a salon, and are ready to take the leap to the grooming table and start the career you dream of?

  • … you’re weighed down by how long it takes you to groom a dog, and too overwhelmed to know which skills you need to fix it?

  •  …you’ve been grooming for a few years, but want a comprehensive review of the foundations of your craft to launch your skills (and rates) into the stratosphere?

If any of that resonated – this is for you.

JRG101 is the course I wish I had when I was a new groomer. 


I’ve packed this course with every single thing I wish I had known when I was first starting but no one was teaching me. If I had the course back then, it would have saved me years of trial and error.


So that’s what I’m covering in this 9+ hour BEAST of a course.


*cue Godzilla roar* 

 
In easy-to-follow videos, we’ll go over:

⚒️ The tools you need and how to maintain and use them 

🛁 Prep work and gorgeous fluff outs

🥽 All things safety

🧼 My go-to products and cleansers

💅 Nitpicky stuff like ear plucking and nail trims

✂️ Scissoring, clipping

...and my signature Body Blueprint…

 

All. Of. It.

 If it’s a foundational practice of grooming ...
I’m sharing it here.

Welcome to JRG101.

Hell yes. Sign me up!

There are so many free ‘How To’ grooming videos all over the Internet. 

Some of it's good(ish). Most of it's bad.

So how do you know?

You don't. 

They'll ...

  • teach you things that are just wrong

  • waste your time (which is valuable!)

  • or worst-case, be unsafe for you and the dog


You can 100% trust that any info I give you will help you and the floofs you’re beautifying.

 

For anyone who has ever wanted to learn how to groom a dog
... this is your time to do it the right way.

 

I designed the JRG101 course to be your one-stop for education on the basics of grooming.

It’s everything you need to learn, all in one place.

 

(And if you’re nervous about taking the plunge: there is a 100% money-back guarantee on this course.) You have nothing to lose by investing in yourself, right now. 

Alright, let's do this!

Even I can’t believe how much I go into in this Mastiff-sized course


In 9+ hours of video lessons and techniques…

…with 14 distinct modules… 

…featuring dogs of different coat types and temperaments…

I’ll go over every single topic you need to finally feel total confidence in your grooming, including: 

And so much moooooore… 

The wisdom will be flying fast and furious! (Or… fur-ious?)

PLUS we’ll go over… 

A full grooming routine: how to be the most efficient with your time to have a speedy but gorgie groom 

A whole blueprint for an adorable hand-scissored cut

Instructions on that difficult Cocker Spaniel coat 

A module where we spend the day with grooming trainer extraordinaire Elizabeth Gibbs 😱 with some cutie baby groomers who were there to ask questions

…Aaaaaand I’ll tell you all about my own start in grooming. 

By the end of this course, loaded with all this new knowledge, you’ll be able to take a dog (safely and calmly) from stinky, shapeless bear to stunningly styled beast, trusting that you have a handle on every single aspect of the groom. 

What a thrill.
