Hi! I'm Thaddeus,

your Corvallis-based dog trainer, animal lover, and mentor. It's great to have you here.

I truly believe that with the right guidance and support, any dog - regardless of their history - can transform and thrive. In fact, I've taken this passion all the way to university, as I am currently earning a B.S. in Animal Behavior at Oregon State University in Corvallis.

Determined to give Hazel the life she deserved, I started on our journey into understanding canine behavior and aggression right here in Corvallis, OR. There were a lot of challenges (and failures) along the way, but now at age thirteen, I am so proud that Hazel lives comfortably and stress-free in our home with me and my partner and not only another dog but also a young kitten who loves to play with her tail.

Harvey

About 3 years ago, I adopted Harvey when he was only a few months old and he was immediately started on my freshly made (and a little rough around the edges) Zoomies Training Program. Together he and I have polished it into the complete, functional and flexible LIMA-based, positive reinforcement training approach used in every private session today.

When I am not studying or taking my dogs out for a hike around Corvallis, I spend time volunteering at the local animal shelter. I spend a few hours a week there getting dogs just like Hazel adoption-ready with 1:1 training and regular enrichment.

If you're ready to build your best friend up and experience the joy of seeing them thrive, I look forward to working with you both here in Linn-Benton County.
