We had a great experience working with Clint with our reactive dog. It was mind blowing to see the progress she made in 4 sessions, and everything we learned has made a night and day difference being able to help her regulate her big feelings on walks. We couldn’t recommend him enough and look forward to future classes with Clint and team.

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.

Just had our first of hopefully many training sessions. We went into the experience with little to no expectations due to previous training with our little Hamilton. We were blown away by what progress we were able to make in an hour! We are so hopeful for the future and being able to build upon what he learned today. The calm, softer demeanor of Clint was a perfect match for our anxious dog. Thank you and we appreciate you. Booking our next session as I type this!
Drove 45 miles every week to attend classes for my hyperactive dog. It was worth it. I was overwhelmed at first because my dog was so focused on everything but me, but the trainer helped calm my nerves and we had successful classes to follow! We followed the homework every week and ended the 6 week course with a different dog. Thanks Knox Canine Training!
Clint was great! He was always very helpful and attentive and gave lots of pointers to help our class with issues we were having. Our puppy really enjoyed the class and the interaction with other puppies. I highly recommend taking his puppy classes. We will be starting the s 5-9 month class this fall.
Very helpful. I love that he came to our house to see our dog.
