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.

I called Knox Canine Training on a rescue puppy I adopted the beginning of the year. Each time I have emailed them. Within a short turn around time, the owner has reached out with training methods. They have a class for every situation. From private come to your home or to their facility, to group sessions. I have felt they are about safety and well being of the family home. Please remember the only wrong thing to do is not addressing it small or big. They can work with you. I have put my trust in Knox Canine and have been pleased. Kathy
Clint and his staff are excellent! I have a 5 year old American Bully who is very reactive to other dogs. We have been doing 1:1 training with Clint and it is going very well! He has taught us realistic methods to make walks and encountering other dogs much more manageable. Everyone at Knox Training has been helpful and professional and we enjoy our weekly session. Definitely recommend!
Clint is simply amazing. Our dogs suddenly hated each other and fought all the time. We had to keep them separated. It's still a work in progress, but Clint has been able to help them start to get along again.
Clint is like a dog whisperer. We've always taken our puppies to Knox Canine for training and it was money well spent. In addition, we've hired Clint to work with a couple of dogs at home, and he's always super helpful and makes training your dog fun!
