One-on-One Private Dog Training in Momence, IL
Personalized Lessons Tailored to Your Dog’s Needs
Every dog is different—some are shy, others are reactive, and many just need focused time without the distractions of a group setting. At Rock of Ages Kennel, we offer One-on-One Private Dog Training Lessons designed to meet the unique personality, history, and learning pace of your dog.

Together, we help dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments succeed.
