Why Videos?
Videos are the ultimate learning tool. Used in conjunction with Jodi’s book, Dog Grooming Simplified, you will be able to see correct techniques that would be virtually indescribable in written text alone. Videos can be viewed over and over again. It is almost impossible to absorb all the information at once. When reviewing videos, you will find that you pick up things that you missed the first and second times around. Many people cannot afford to leave their families and businesses to attend educational trade shows. This video series is everything you will ever need to become a fabulous groomer. Building a video library of your own is something you will always have to fall back on if you ever need it.
How can I purchase Jodi Murphy videos?
The video series was originally available on DVD and is now available digitally online to stream from any device and anywhere you are. Jodi’s first 45 videos or so are still available to purchase on DVD (while supplies last) on this website, but those same videos plus many, many new ones are all available to stream right now on the separate streaming site https://watch.jodimurphy.net/.
Why is there a separate website for streaming videos?
This website is built on a platform that can sell physical products. The digital videos are now available for purchase at https://watch.jodimurphy.net/ which is built on a platform meant for streaming high-resolution HD video (similar in concept to Netflix or Amazon Prime Video). So you can purchase apparel, books, tools, and DVDs here but need to separately purchase streaming video on Jodi’s other website.
You will not be able to purchase streaming video and physical products together.
How can I watch the streaming videos?

How did you learn how to groom?
I was taught the basics of grooming at a grooming shop. I started out as a bather, and after one year of bathing, I began learning to actually groom. After one year of grooming, I decided to become a mobile groomer. I had three young children at the time and wanted the flexibility of having my own business. Due to the fact that I was now working alone with no one to help me with my skills, I started to attend trade shows. I then realized how little I knew about grooming. I became extremely eager to learn more and more, so I attended every seminar and watched every breed demonstration that I could possibly go to. At that point, I knew I found my calling. I started to compete in grooming competitions after I had only been grooming for two years. I realized that I needed to work with breeders and handlers to perfect my skill levels on the breeds that I was competing with. I spent almost every day that I was not working traveling for private lessons. I worked with some of the top handlers and breeders in the country. I learned the proper techniques as well as the correct profiles for the breeds that I was studying, and I quickly became one of the top 4 pet stylists in the United States. Within three years, I was ranked the number one pet stylist in the USA. Your drive and determination are the keys to your success.
Can I learn to groom from your Book, Dog Grooming Simplified, and Videos?
Absolutely! Depending upon your drive and determination, viewing these videos in conjunction with my book, Dog Grooming Simplified, will provide you with the knowledge you will need to become a professional groomer. I always advise people to volunteer, if possible, with the local humane societies to help them get dogs ready for adoption. This is a great way to gain hands-on experience. Also, practicing on family, friends, and rescue dogs is a great way to improve your skills and gain the confidence that is needed.
My Series of videos is used in countless grooming schools within the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, and Australia as part of their curriculum. The information in my videos includes every technique that you will ever need to know, as well as several of the most common breeds. Numerous people have learned to become groomers solely by viewing this series and have gone on to open up salons and have become very successful. The education that I am providing you with includes all the techniques and skills that I have acquired to become a top National and International groomer. If you ever have any questions along the way I am always just an email away!
Do you offer any type of support if needed?
I always make myself available through email to help you with any questions or concerns you may have. If your questions cannot be answered via email, phone support is available. I am here to help you succeed.
Who do you recommend to sharpen your thinning shear blades?
The #1 blade sharpener I trust with my signature shears is BladeHub Professional Sharpening. They are experts at the craft and make the process quick and painless for groomers. You’ve invested in your tools, so you don’t want to trust your shears to just anyone. They have very fair pricing and offer fantastic customer service.
