About Me
🐾
CEO & Head Trainer | DePaul K9 Academy
Hello, my name is Carol DePaul, CEO and Head Trainer of DePaul K9 Academy. My passion for animals began in childhood—owning my first dog in early childhood and training horses by the age of 13. I had the privilege of working with therapy horses to assist children and adults with disabilities, an experience that deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between animals and humans.
What began as a personal love for animals has grown into a professional career spanning over 15 years. During this time, I’ve helped countless dogs and their owners develop stronger, healthier relationships built on trust, leadership, and understanding.
🎓 My Experience & Education
I am committed to continuous education and have trained with some of the most respected dog trainers in the world, including:
· Martin Deeley (Florida Dog Trainer)
· Tyler Muto (K9 Connection)
· Joel Silverman(Professional Dog Trainer)
· Duke Ferguson(Unleashed Potential K9 Academy)
· Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer)
· Numerous online seminars and courses with top trainers
When I’m not training, I enjoy time with my own dog and continue to support local rescues with rehabilitation and training services.

My Training Philosophy
At DePaul K9 Academy, we specialize in foundation obedience, puppy training, aggression, impulse control and behavior modification. Our goals are to make training a stress-free and rewarding experience for both dogs and their owners.
- We use balanced methods and positive reinforcement to shape behaviors and build confidence.
- Training is always customized to your dog no two dogs are alike.
At DePaul K9 Academy, we believe successful dog training starts with building a strong relationship between the dog and the owner. That’s why we focus not only on training your dog, but also on teaching you the skills and confidence needed to continue the training long after our sessions are complete.
We specialize in foundation obedience, puppy training, aggression, impulse control, and behavior modification. Our mission is to create calm, confident, and well-mannered dogs while making the training process rewarding and stress-free for both you and your dog. Using balanced training methods and positive reinforcement, we help shape reliable behaviors, improve communication, and strengthen the bond between you and your companion.
Every dog is different, which is why all of our training programs are fully customized to fit your dog’s unique personality, temperament, and needs. No two dogs are alike, and their training shouldn’t be either.
🐾 Build a Balanced Relationship with Your Dog
Behavior problems don’t appear out of nowhere—there’s always an underlying reason. Many unwanted behaviors stem from a lack of socialization, structure, and clear rules, boundaries, and limitations in a dog’s relationship with humans.
Dogs thrive under strong, consistent leadership. With a confident leader, dogs feel secure, build trust, and develop respect. This not only strengthens your bond but also helps your dog grow into a well-balanced, happy companion.
