Hello, my name is Carol DePaul, founder and head trainer of DePaul K9 Academy. My love for animals began early in life with my first childhood dog and grew even stronger when I started training horses at the age of 13.

The 3 D’s: How Real Training Becomes Real Results
The Structure Behind Every Skill
To create reliable behavior in any environment, every obedience skill is taught using a proven framework called the 3 D's. This framework is used in every session and why the results last.
D1DistanceYour dog learns to respond even when you're not right beside them — across the room, across the yard, or anywhere you need them to listen.
D2DurationYour dog practices holding commands for longer periods, building patience, impulse control, and calm focus.
D3DistractionYour dog learns to stay engaged even when life gets noisy — people, dogs, traffic, smells, sounds, and everyday chaos.
Together, the 3 D's turn obedience into confidence, structure, and freedom — at home, in public, and everywhere life takes you.
