AwesomeDog Training & Care is a professional dog training and care business based in Walla Walla, Washington, founded by Carol Duvall, a certified trainer specializing in reactive and aggressive dogs. Carol’s personal journey began when her own dog, Molly, became reactive, leading to a leg injury and motivating her to master behavior modification techniques. Today, she offers personalized dog training, board and train programs, dog boarding, daycare, pet sitting, and dog walking—all delivered in a home-based, family-like environment. Her balanced training approach combines positive reinforcement with fair corrections to build trust and lasting confidence in dogs of all ages and temperaments. She specializes in transforming challenging behaviors like lunging, growling, and resource guarding into calm, obedient companions. Clients appreciate her patience, expertise, and the emotional support she provides during the training process.

In addition to training, Carol offers overnight and multi-day dog boarding in her home, where dogs receive one-on-one attention, daily walks, playtime, and routine maintenance. Doggy daycare includes supervised socialization in a secure yard, while in-home pet sitting and dog walking services ensure consistent care when owners are away. All services are tailored to individual needs, with video updates provided during boarding and training programs to keep owners informed and reassured.

Accomplishments

Carol transformed her own reactive dog, Molly, into a calm, safe companion after Molly caused her a leg injury. She now specializes in helping dogs with severe behavioral issues that other trainers often avoid. Her clients report life-changing results, including dogs once deemed “hopeless” becoming reliable and joyful family members.
