What we offer

Here at Blue Collar K-9 we offer in house training for the Foothills and surrounding areas. We offer a free consult and then training after that. We work not only with your dog, but also you! You and your dog must journey together to fulfill the change that you would like to see. We help all breeds and don't frown on any, because we believe that people are what have given certain breeds a bad name. So be ready to learn about your dog and yourself!

How we train

Here at Blue Collar K-9 we believe that all dogs learn in different ways, so it’s important to build a relationship with your dog so we can speak their unique language. Together we will find the perfect mix of praise and discipline for your furry friend to succeed. We try to combine discipline, praise and treats to create a perfect training technique!

Our Story

Blue Collar Dog School is local and family owned. Tim Guzman, the main trainer, started working with dogs at a very young age working at his parents grooming shop. He learned from the beginning how to be around dogs and make them appreciate their human. After being a paramedic for 15 years, his career took a turn and he turned to dogs. He went back to his roots and dogs. He is trained in a variety of techniques while also volunteering at local shelters and helping to train other dogs in the neighborhood. His wife, Nicki helps run the business and loves to find new things to try with their own dogs. Our entire family is involved in the process of training dogs because each of us has different energy which can help different dogs. My name is Skyler Guzman and I help with the website and help my dad with dog training. I loved training our dogs and am in the process of training my first therapy dog. It has become a passion of this whole family to train dogs. This career is very rewarding because we get to help make a family and a pack one happy unit.
