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.
