Over 1,500 dogs trained. Drop off. We handle everything. Start at 12 weeks, then come back at 6 months to lock it in.
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.
Windham's lakes and wooded trails mean puppies will spend real time off leash near water and wildlife, so recall has to be bulletproof. We start building it early, and follow up support keeps it solid as they grow.
Leave your name and number. We'll call, ask about your puppy, and tell you straight whether this is the right fit.

If your puppy isn't reliably responding by the end of a stay, we keep training until they are. You don't pay more for more time.
A great start, 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 Windham? Pickup and drop off is an option. Either way, they're settled in the same day.
Training, trails, and building the habits that last.
You get your puppy back, and the system that makes it stick. At 6 months they return for an 18 day stay to lock it in.
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.
"He was so difficult to manage that we had two young girls we couldn't even let on the ground when he was in the room. When we got him back, he was a completely changed dog."
"People are constantly telling us how amazingly well behaved and obedient she is."
"He is much calmer & focused. All the Staff were amazing."
A 10 day stay from 12 weeks old, then 18 days when your puppy is 6 months old. Limited to 10 dogs at a time. The full program is $4,000: a $1,000 deposit, half of the rest at the first stay and half at the second. Pickup and drop off is available if you'd rather not make the drive.
12 weeks. The earlier you start, the better the foundation you build. The first stay is 10 days.
The first stay lays the foundation. We build focus and teach your puppy how to learn. At that age they are still too immature for us to take them as far as we'd want, and it would be unfair to ask that much of them. It's like asking a middle schooler to take college classes. So they come back at 6 months, when they're ready for more.
The full puppy program is $4,000. You put down a $1,000 deposit, pay half of what's left at the first stay, and the other half during the second stay. Leave your name and number and we'll talk through what your puppy needs.
No. Your puppy comes home as themselves, just with better manners. Training builds confidence, it doesn't erase personality. The spunky, goofy, loving puppy you dropped off is the same one you pick up, they just listen now.
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.
