I couldn't recommend Nick at Chomp more. Our pup Benny was showing signs of aggression early on that many people told us he would grow out of. We spent several months working with a trainer in our home and saw no improvements in benny's behavior and our last trainer told us that Benny will never not be an aggressive dog. Unfortunately he had bit a few of our friends prior and eventually did bite a groomer bad enough she needed stitches. Benny now is on record with animal control and we were told that if he bites another person there will be consequences that could result in him being put down. We were super flustered and anxious bringing our dog anywhere or around people and had to keep a muzzle on him just to be safe, which wasn't good for us or Benny. Some friends had recommended ecollar training and we were trying alternative and cheaper training options prior. Do not waste your time or money on anything but ecollar training!! Bringing Benny to chomps literally saved his life. Benny still is a funky dog sometimes but we now have the tools and the foundation to control him in situations that he may have previously been aggressive in. I forgot to mention he's a 110+ lb Bernese mountain dog, so he's a lot to handle. Before training we could barely walk him on a leash without nearly dislocating our arms, he would never come when called and I would spend forever at dog parks chasing him down to get him back on a leash, and he could not be around strangers without barking and growling constantly. Nick and his brother and girlfriend are miracle workers. Benny now comes on command and walks right by my side without pulling. He goes right into his kennel when told to and can hold a place in busy places or within our home when needed. He is still the goofiest and wild dog at times which we really wanted to make sure he wouldn't loose his personality with this training but he most certainly did not. He has not had a single biting incident since the training and we are now able to recognize his body language and remove him from a situation that he is clearly uncomfortable with thanks to Chomps. Another amazing part about training with these guys is their responsiveness. I constantly text them asking for tips and questions and they always get back to me and offer to meet in person if appropriate. We have had a few follow up sessions just to reinforce the training and whenever Benny sees Nick again he goes nuts and is so excited. It's so obvious how much they care about training dogs appropriately but also tailored to you individually. This might have been a bit scrambled but overall I highly recommend boarding with Chomps, it will change yours and your dogs life. read more

I came to Chomps Dog Training looking for guidance and structure with my first puppy Ellie. I couldn't be happier with the help I got from Nick and his team. Ellie is a malinois and naurally carries a lot of energy and excitement. She is very active and needs clear boundaries. As a first time dog owner, I did not have a clear idea of what this meant or what behaviors I had to "look out for," so Ellie had become hard to control and would get aggressive if you got close to her food. Nick helped me establish a better routine for Ellie, which already made a huge difference in her behavior and control, and he worked Ellie through her resource guarding. He also helped me understand how to best meet her needs and balance her energy through obedience and dog sports. I was exercising Ellie 2-3 hours a day before I came to Chomps and still was dealing with rowdy behavior, resource guarding, and terrible manners, but once obedience came into play and I understood how to clearly communicate with her, our relationship totally changed for the better. I attribute all of her progress to this amazing team. Again, I can't recommend Chomps Dog Training's services enough. read more

I took my Pit Bull to Chomps and they took great care of her and trained her incredibly well. Prior to training, she would lunge at other dogs on walks and got into a couple of fights at the dog park. She was with the staff for 4 and a half weeks and she came back a different dog, no more lunging at other dogs anywhere and walking normal on walks with me. They were also able to point out that she wasn't an aggressive dog but was more scared of the high energy/spastic dogs and had more fear aggression towards other dogs. They also taught me how to pick up mannerisms and some of the body language that she was exhibiting to get her calmed down when she is showing signs of being fearful or anxiety. I have been able to have her off leash on walks and in the front yard at home with no issues. I have been extremely happy with the program they had us go through and my dog is now able to go just about anywhere with me and she is much happier and is loving going everywhere. read more
