Every dog is different, which is why DePaul K9 Academy starts with a dog training consultation to identify the root cause of behavior issues such as jumping, aggression, leash pulling, barking, and lunging.
We then create a customized in-home dog training plan tailored to your dog, your goals, and your home environment
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.
