Transform your technique, build confidence, and groom with precision & consistency on any dog, every time.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by faces…
If you struggle with tricky bodies…
If you’re consistently disappointed by inconsistent results…
…then the Refining Your Skills program is for you.
You already know the basics, but something still isn’t clicking.
Maybe your faces still come out messy or inconsistent. You freeze when the client’s waiting, or the dog squirms and your confidence slips. Or maybe it’s the body work. You can see what’s off, but you don’t know how to fix it, so you end up trimming everything and hoping it looks balanced. The result? You’re stressed, second-guessing yourself, and spending twice as long on every groom.
It shouldn’t be this hard.
Refining Your Skills gives you Jess Rona’s signature blueprint for both faces and bodies so you can walk into every groom with a plan, work faster without sacrificing quality, and finally create consistent, adorable results you’re proud of.
You’ll learn:
Methods for shaping adorable teddy bear faces with confidence and consistency on any coat type
How to break grooming into clear, repeatable shapes and sections so every haircut has a plan
Tool choices and positioning that actually work, instead of just looking impressive in a video
How to keep your energy grounded so dogs stay calm and cooperative
Better ways to tackle prep work, shave downs, scissoring, and styling like a pro
Mindset shifts to replace the panic and chaos with flow, confidence, and creative joy
By the end, your grooms won’t just look better, they’ll feel better. You’ll be able to show up calmly, execute cleanly, and give clients results they can’t stop raving about, which means better bookings, more confidence, and work you’re proud to show off.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You can see what’s wrong when you’ve groomed a dog… but have no idea how to fix it.
You’ve watched every grooming tutorial video under the sun but are still not able to achieve the looks that you want.
Feeling like you don’t make enough money for the time you put in… but also feeling too insecure to charge more.
Seeing adorably shaped pups all over your socials, while your most common result is overwhelm.
Being hounded (ahem) by imposter syndrome from inconsistent work or not being able to meet clients’ requests.
You want to groom faster… but that means sacrificing quality in your work.
Scissoring. Just scissoring 😫.
Trying to achieve balance in your haircuts means you end up gradually trimming off evvvverything.
A job you thought would bring you joy is stressful. And that sucks.
I see you, Shmoop. And I'm here to help.
Imagine WOW-ing every client.
Being fully booked, and with a waitlist of even more dream clients…
Showing up every day to groom with calm energy…
Really feeling your confidence as a sought-after groomer…
And making every dog the gorgeous beast they were meant to be.s beast they were meant to be.
"I think it's so funny that you can do the same thing for so long, and then someone gives you another point of view, and it changes everything for the better. I am open, flexible, curious, and motivated because of [Refining Your Skills]. I take a LOT of other classes, but Jess makes it seem not only attainable but... I don't know how to say this.. like home? Like safe enough to do better? Like it's almost effortless to be 'good enough’ to try new things because it feels safe?"

Hi, I'm Jess! I also used to struggle to get clean lines and floofy, perfect shapes. Until…
Back when I was a newbie lil’ groomer, my haircuts had no consistency. I would do a pretty cute groom one day, and then the next appointment, everything seemed to fall apart.
The balance and proportions weren’t there. The legs would be too short and uneven from trying to get them to match. The head would look too big or too small compared with the body. No wonder my confidence felt as choppy as my scissoring.
Then one day I was working on this fluffy bear, and stepped back and really ✨saw✨ the profile of the dog’s back as a straight line. A huge, glorious lightbulb blinked on over my head: I was sculpting shapes into the dog! And if I just followed those shapes in a series, it would be a guide for my haircuts.
Boom. Consistency was mine. I was reliably turning out gorgeous haircuts, and my business started growwwing. When I began to take on staff, I trained them with this same method, and their work instantly transformed, too.
But I still saw so many groomers out there struggling exactly the way I had. And I thought, why isn't there just a simple step by step guide out there for grooming a Shmoop’s body?
And that's how my blueprint – and these programs – were born.
This program is for you if:
You’ve got the basics but want cleaner, intentional face technique and body grooming that looks pro every time
You’re exhausted by struggling with dogs and wish you knew the way to calm them
You struggle with balance, proportion, and consistency
You want to groom faster without sacrificing quality
You have the vision of the finished dog in your head, and it just never comes out that way
You want a system, not more overwhelming tips from random videos
You want to raise the quality of your work and your confidence
This program is not for you if:
You’re brand new and haven’t covered grooming fundamentals yet (go to the Just Starting Out program)
You're searching for a few quick fixes, rather than a foundation of reliable technique
You're not really into the idea of practicing right now, or learning foolproof methods for elevated work
Your goals aren't consistency, huge growth in your skills, or results clients will not be able to wait to post
FAQs

It depends on you! You have lifetime access to all of the lessons, so you can pause, rewatch, fast-forward, however much you want.
It’s recommended that you practice the techniques as you go along, rather than watching the whole program and then trying to remember everything as you apply it. Plus, you’ll be able to build on what you’ve previously learned with every new concept.
Keep in mind there is a personal development side to help you with your energy work. That’s where most of the homework will come in, so be sure you have some time set aside to do that to make the most of the program – just a few minutes a day, but with consistency.

This course is geared towards helping dog groomers who have some experience. You don’t need to be a full-time working groomer to benefit, but if you’re just beginning, try the Just Starting Out program instead to get a foundation in the basics of grooming safely and gorgeously.
