- TriviaThe title acronym C.H.O.M.P.S. stands for 'Canine Home Protection System' as in "Canine HOMe Protection System" i.e. The C.H.O.M.P.S. acronym is formed from the first letter in each word as well as the second and third letters in the second word 'home'.
- GoofsWhen C.H.O.M.P.S. rips the roof from the car that Ken Sharp is driving, it is clearly not the same car that Sharp was seen getting into just moments before.
- Quotes
Brian Foster: I call it my Canine Home Protection System; C.H.O.M.P.S. for short.
- Alternate versionsThe movie was originally released with a PG rating during the summer of 1979. It was eventually pulled and re-edited into a version without certain profanity in order for it to receive a G rating (note: the "re-edited" version mentioned here was released in the autumn of 1979). Even though the original version was released again at least once afterwards, at least one of those later releases appeared to have had it classified as a G-rated movie rather than a PG-rated one.

Featured review
Good fun for kids
C.H.O.M.P.S. isn't the greatest kid-geared film made, but it is a lot of fun to watch. It's especially fun if you're a dog lover. The idea of a robotic home-security dog that follows number-based commands may have been a bit far-fetched in 1979, but it could be an actuality in the near future. Aside from one serious curse word ("s***", which is why it's rated PG) spoken in the mind of a neighboring dog, C.H.O.M.P.S. is harmless, less violent, & more imaginative than most "children" films nowadays. Yes, it is dopey, but what the heck - it's a cute film for kids & doesn't try to be anything else. Simple, innocent entertainment. The dog is cuddly, the acting is mediocre (several then TV stars are in it - Jim Backus, Conrad Bains, the guy from Land of the Lost, Valerie Bertinelli, Red Buttons, etc.), but it's an enjoyable film if your expectations aren't too high. Give it a chance.
