We had an excellent experience in our dog training series with Thaddeus. He is very organized, friendly, and professional. We now have excellent knowledge and skills to work with our 8 month old puppy. We highly recommend Zoomies Dog Training! Thanks Thaddeus.

Zoomies Dog Training made all the difference in teaching our new 2 yr old dog how to behave! He’s now very good on a leash, in the car, has quit barking at strangers or odd sounds and he’s very happy. Thank you Thaddeus and Zoomies Dog Training for giving Buddy a new lease on life!
– Colleen Pyke, Ashland OR
If you are looking for Ashland’s very own dog whisperer, look no further! Thaddeus was informative and thorough in showing us how to work best with our puppy. Our 4 month old grew leaps and bounds during Thaddeus’s obedience training course. Our puppy might even like him more than us! We’ll definitely be coming back for the advanced training.

About the Trainer
Zoomies Dog Training, led by Thaddeus, offers science-based, LIMA-compliant dog training focused on building strong, lifelong partnerships between dogs and their owners through positive communication and engagement. They provide private one-on-one training sessions for basic obedience, advanced skills, and behavioral handling, all tailored to individual needs. Thaddeus uses positive reinforcement methods and has personal experience transforming highly reactive dogs like his husky mix, Hazel, into calm, confident companions. He also offers Board and Train programs lasting 3 or 5 weeks with weekly owner sessions to reinforce progress. In addition to private training, Zoomies hosts facilitated playgroups for socialization and volunteers weekly at a local shelter to help shelter dogs become adoption-ready using Dogs Playing for Life protocols.
Thaddeus is currently completing his degree in Animal Behavior at OSU and is pursuing certification with IAABC and APDT, bringing both academic knowledge and hands-on experience to every client. His approach emphasizes understanding each dog’s unique history and needs, making Zoomies ideal for owners seeking ethical, effective, and compassionate training.
They also offer a free consultation to help new clients determine the best path forward for their dog.
Accomplishments
Thaddeus is completing his degree in Animal Behavior at Oregon State University and is pursuing certification through IAABC and APDT. He has successfully transformed highly reactive dogs, including his own husky mix, Hazel, who was returned to the shelter twice. He volunteers weekly at Friends of the Animal Shelter using Dogs Playing for Life protocols to prepare shelter dogs for adoption.
