FirstBarkWe’ve attended group training classes with different dogs in the past. This time we needed private sessions. Clint came highly recommended by multiple people. He not only addressed, but was able to offer solutions to all of our challenges, for both dogs. We went with a private session package. It went so well that we’ve booked a reactive session for the spring. Looking forward to going back!

Now in Obedience 2 training with Michelle Hoile. Michelle’s previous school teacher experience along with her love of dog training make her well planned lessons a truly wonderful experience.

We found Clint about 12 years ago through Canine Craze and happily followed him when he started Knox Canine Training. We're on our second pair of Boxer dogs since and all four have been through numerous Knox Canine Training classes with great results. Clint's classes are so well-organized, as are his resources for outside the classroom, and he's great about being available for follow-up questions and/or advice outside the classroom. There are never any gimmicks or up-sales, just really great people.
