Over 1,500 dogs trained. Drop off. We handle everything. Pick up a dog that listens, or we keep them longer for free.
10 dogs max at a time. Training guaranteed.
We train on 44 acres in the White Mountains of Maine. Make the drive up to Stow yourself, or ask us about pickup and drop off.
Between the village center and the Royal River trails, Yarmouth dogs are constantly around foot traffic, other dogs, and shops with open doors. We train leash manners and calm greetings for that close quarters life, then teach you the system so it sticks on your walks.
Leave your name and number. We'll call, ask about your dog, and tell you straight whether this is the right fit.

If your dog isn't reliably responding by the end of the 11 days, we keep training until they are. You don't pay more for more time.
A finished dog, and the training for you to make it last a lifetime.
Built around whatever they need.
Everything taken care of while they're here.
Photos of their adventures, videos of sessions while they're here. Proof your dog can learn, not just a highlight reel.
Before you leave, you'll know the exact system we use to communicate with your dog. The conversation doesn't stop when you drive away.
We handle everything in between.
A quick phone call. We figure out together if this is the right fit for your dog.
You bring them up to Stow, Maine. Coming from Yarmouth? Pickup and drop off is an option. Either way, they're settled in the same day.
Training, trails, and building the habits that hold up at home.
You get your dog back, and the system that makes it stick.
Straight shooter. Laughs easy. Lifelong student of dogs.
Bold by nature. Warm by heart. Lifelong student of behavior.
Loud by nature. Happy by default. Adventurous already.
"Chomps completely changed our lives, and his loving, spunky personality is still fully intact."
"To see a herding dog just chill out on a dog bed for extended periods of time, that's wild. Chomps made it happen."
"Deebo went away and came back another dog, and I get so many compliments on how well behaved he is. Worth every penny."
11 days, limited to 10 dogs at a time. Exact pricing depends on your dog's needs. Pickup and drop off is available if you'd rather not make the drive.
Board and train is the most effective training option available, full stop. Daily repetition, total consistency, and real world exposure get results in weeks that weekly lessons can take months to achieve, if ever. For most dogs and owners, it's the fastest path to a dog that actually listens.
No. Your dog comes home as themselves, just with better manners. Training builds confidence, it doesn't erase personality. The spunky, goofy, loving dog you dropped off is the same dog you pick up, they just listen now. This is the question we get most, and it's an easy one to answer.
Most of our programs require dogs to be at least 6 months old. The exception is our Puppy Program, which starts at 12 weeks, because the earlier you start, the better the foundation you build. There is no dog too old for any of our programs.
Yes. That's exactly what our Behavior Modification program is built for. Dogs displaying aggression, reactivity, or severe anxiety aren't a lost cause, they just need the right approach. That program is where we start before any other training.
We use balanced training methods, which includes e-collars as one of several tools in our toolkit. E-collars are used thoughtfully and intentionally. In the right hands they're one of the most effective communication tools available, and every dog goes home with the knowledge to continue using them correctly.
We provide regular text, photo, and video updates throughout the stay so you're never left wondering. You'll see your dog's progress in real time, and we're always available if you have questions between updates.
Every graduate leaves with a 1.5 hour send home lesson, 3 follow up sessions within the first year, lifetime phone and email support, and access to our alumni exclusive boarding and Adventure Club daycare. Graduation isn't the end, it's the beginning, and we don't disappear after it.
Nick has been working with dogs since 2017 and training professionally since 2019. He competes in French Ring, one of the most demanding dog sports in the world, where his dog Ippo won first place at the American National Championship at Level 2 in 2024 and is now titled at the highest level, Level 3. Nick is also a certified Level 3 decoy, one of only 3 people in the United States to hold that certification. Nicole has been working with dogs since before 2017 and brings a background in psychology and anthropology to everything she does with dogs and their owners. Together they founded Chomps as a family owned business built on continued education, honest communication, and a dog first approach to every case.
