We took our 1 year old Aussie to Obedience class. It was a great experience! Our instructor was patient, clear with instructions, and he wanted everyone to be successful. Definitely recommend.

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.

Knox was recommended to me by a couple friends at the Sheriff's Office. We are in Obedience 1 class with our Cane Corso and we absolutely love the training and how well our Corso is doing.
Our 9 month old rescue puppy has really done well with obedience training. I appreciate the easy to follow, written homework provided every week so we can keep practicing at home. Knox Training has also provided guidance on some other obedience issues we had as our puppy gets excited or tired and tends to nip. It's been a great experience with our puppy.
I rescued a two-year old dog, who had no background in obedience training, and we instantly fell in love with Clint and his team. We’ve taken three classes so far, and I appreciate how the trainers get to know each dog’s personality. I recommend Knox Canine Training classes for your adult or rescue dogs!
Knox Canine Training provided us with amazing tips, guides to continuous training and all in a compassionate and no pressure/non-judgemental environment. Highly recommend.
