Aggression Training

Aggression Training

Aggression Training

 

When a dog shows signs of aggression toward people or or dogs, it can leave families feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and heartbroken. Simple walks become stressful, visitors become  concerned, and many owners begin to feel isolated or unsure of what to do next.  We understand that aggression is more than just a behavior — it’s often rooted in fear, insecurity, anxiety, or a lack of trust and guidance. Our experienced trainers work closely with you and your dog to identify the root cause of the aggression and create a personalized training plan that restores calm, confidence, and control,

Leash Reactivity

Aggression Training

Aggression Training

Does your dog pull on the leash, lunge, bark, or become overly excited when seeing other dogs, animals, or people during walks? Loose leash walking and leash reactivity can make walks stressful and exhausting instead of enjoyable. At DePaul K9 Academy, our professional leash training programs teach dogs how to walk calmly on a leash with better focus, impulse control, and obedience around distractions. We help transform stressful walks into calm, enjoyable experiences so you and your dog can confidently enjoy your time together.

Recall Training

Threshold Training

Threshold Training

   

Teaching your dog to come when called—is one of the most important commands for safety, control, and reliable obedience. A strong recall gives you the ability to get your dog back to you in any environment, whether at home, in the yard, at the park, or around distractions.

A dog that understands recall is safer and easier to manage in real-life situations. It can prevent dangerous outcomes such as running into traffic, approaching unfamiliar dogs, or ignoring boundaries. Reliable recall gives owners peace of mind and helps dogs stay under control even in high-distraction environments.

Threshold Training

Threshold Training

Threshold Training

  

This training is especially important for developing impulse control, as dogs naturally want to rush through openings out of excitement or curiosity. By learning to pause and wait for permission, the dog builds self-control, patience, and the ability to think before acting. This reduces impulsive behaviors like bolting through doors, pulling ahead on walks, or rushing into new environments. Strong threshold training reinforces calm decision-making and teaches the dog that access to space and freedom comes through calm behavior and listening.

About Me

 

Hello, my name is Carol DePaul, founder and head trainer of DePaul K9 Academy. My passion for animals began early in life, starting with my first dog in childhood and growing stronger as I began training horses at the age of 13. I also had the privilege of working with therapy horses that helped children and adults with disabilities, which gave me an even deeper appreciation for the powerful bond between animals and people.

What started as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a professional career spanning more than 15 years. Throughout that time, I’ve helped dogs and their owners build stronger relationships through trust, communication, leadership, and understanding. My goal is not just to train dogs, but to help families create calmer, more connected lives with their pets.

I believe every dog is different, which is why I take a personalized approach to training. By understanding each dog’s behavior, personality, and environment, I create customized training plans that support lasting results for both the dog and the owner.

Experience & Continuing Education

I am committed to ongoing education and have trained with some of the most respected dog trainers in the world, including:

  • Martin Deeley
  • Tyler Muto
  • Joel Silverman
  • Duke Ferguson
  • Cesar Millan
  • Numerous seminars and online courses with leading trainers

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my own dog and supporting local rescues through rehabilitation and training services.
