Carol Duvall - Founder

Carol Duvall's heartfelt journey into the world of animal behavior and obedience training of aggressive dogs began when she faced the huge challenge as the paw parent of Molly, an adorable rescue pup whose perfect demeanor began to unravel after several intense encounters with other dogs during hikes.

Molly developed severe reactivity and aggression toward other dogs, which brought immense stress and a deep sense of isolation to Carol and her family. Fueled by her determination to find a solution, Carol immersed herself in research—watching videos, listening to podcasts, reading extensively, and consulting with dog trainers and animal behaviorists.

Unfortunately, most experts offered little hope that Molly could ever enjoy the freedom of being off-leash in public spaces. Refusing to accept a restricted future, Carol discovered a breakthrough while exploring e-collar training for resource guarding. By revamping her training and integrating the proper use of the collar with loose-leash walking, off-leash commands, and consistent reinforcement, Molly's aggression and attacking behavior and the stress levels decreased dramatically in weeks. In just six months, Molly was off-leash 90% of the time, joyfully joining Carol on adventures like hiking and bicycling.

Carol's challenges and ultimate success ignited a passion to help other dog owners facing similar struggles. She advanced her training knowledge by attending top-tier dog trainer programs and earning certifications in The Emotion Code and The Body Code. Carol's determination to address all aspects of reactivity and aggression led her to explore animal communication, partnering with experts like Shirley Scott. Together, they uncover deeper insights into root causes such as mirroring human emotions, past traumas, or unmet needs, providing holistic solutions for aggressive dogs.

To share her knowledge and inspire others, Carol founded the Reactive and Aggressive Dog SUCCESS Group on Facebook. With over 52,000 members, this dynamic community equips aggressive dog owners with the resources, guidance, and encouragement to transform even the most difficult dogs with the right tools, understanding, and commitment. Additionally, she launched AggressiveDogSolutions.com, to offer the combination of training materials and personalized behavioral obedience training and animal communication for lasting solutions. Her story stands as a powerful testament to perseverance, love, and commitment to struggling humans and their canine companions. It embodies her belief that with the right tools, understanding, and dedication, even the most difficult dogs can transform.
