I had the pleasure of participating in Obedience 1 Classes with Clint and he is an awesome instructor. Clint was also my mentor as I was studying to become a trainer. He and his team are very knowledgeable and genuinely caring about everyone that goes through their classes!

Get a hold of Clint Knox the owner/trainer of Knox Canine Training. He is the trainer that our rescue uses which is Mid- Iowa Boxer Rescue. He is amazing and has a Facebook page.

Highly recommend Knox Canine Training. Clint has taught us how to best manage and change behaviors through positive reinforcement. His approach makes sense and has been very effective. We are grateful for all his help.

I have attended group classes and had a trainer visit my home to assist in training my puppy. I found the classes to be very helpful to train me and my puppy on how to work together - what commands are needed to keep her safe. Also introduced her to real life experiences encountered in stores, meeting people/other dogs and in her environment. Met my objective of a well behaved, socialized pet. Trainers are excellent and patient -explaining to me how to best do a command and why it was important.
Clint came to our house for a training session, we got lots of advice and tricks for training our dogs that was very personalized to our house & our lifestyle. Very helpful!
I learned so much about training my puppy. The most important thing I learned was how much restorative sleep puppies need!
