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
🐾
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 develope 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.
