Casper's Camp Hope has been a wonderful experience for our dogs and family. Our Dobermans have changed significantly! It's been noticed repeatedly by our veterinary clinic. Our female, Lexi was an anxious dog and she is a different dog now. Walking her on leash is easy and she is calmer than she has ever been. Seeing her increase in confidence and trust has been a blessing. Our male, Emmett is a powerful and energetic dog. We went to the vet today and he stayed in the waiting room with multiple dogs and a cat. In the past we have had to go straight to an exam room. He lay down the whole time and walked by my side into the exam room. Jimmy and Dania are knowledgeable and continue to be a resource to our family. It has been wonderful to see our kids learn the same techniques and implement them in our home with our dogs. I highly recommend Casper's Camp Hope. The investment of time and money has been worth it.

Can't share enough gratitude for all Dania and Jimmy have done for me and my dog, Cain. As an owner of a dog with special needs, I became overwhelmed with the responsibility of keeping Cain isolated so that we wouldn't run into any issues. He suffered from fear aggression to the point that I was afraid to socialize him, board him, introduce him to new people, etc. Don't wait for an emergency to arise before you call them. They are understanding, welcoming, non-judgmental, and they CARE. They are wholeheartedly committed to what they do, and they're good at it! When they say they work at the dog's pace, they mean it, so don't choose them if you're looking for a quick doggy vacation. They're the real deal - trustworthy experts with their hearts in the right place. Not only did they change Cain's life, but they changed mine too! Cain is more calm, confident, obedient, and he loves going back to see Jimmy when it's time for Mom to go on a trip. This is one of the biggest and best investments I have ever made, personally, and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you again, Dania and Jimmy. You are an answered prayer.

I am very happy with the training that my dog received here for that reason, I traveled from Austin, Texas. I had been trying to find the ideal place for months and I found it. They are very friendly and more than out of a profession of training, they do it because they love animals and training them. Thank you very much for everything ❤️

Casper’s Camp Hope has been an absolutely wonderful investment for our dogs and our family. We have 2 Australian shepherds that were having attachment issues to each other as well as regressing with commands and exhibiting behavior issues. They both spent about 3 months at Casper’s and have returned home with more manners, obedience, and respect. We have had them home for a couple months now and they still are doing just as well as the day we brought them back home. It has been life changing. They are so well behaved on a walk that our 2 year old daughter can even walk them.
We also love that we can take them back to Casper’s for day camp and boarding where they offer refresher training sessions which we have taken advantage of on occasion. We highly recommend Casper’s Camp Hope!

Jimmy and everyone at Casper’s was truly amazing. I just got my big man Guppy back from them and he’s had a complete 180 turn In his behavior and his confidence. They were so informative through his entire training course and worked with Guppy at a pace that was good for him. He is now such a happy go-lucky and confident dog, and they provided me with the tools and education to continue his training at home to make sure it remains that way for him. I already plan on sending my second pup to Casper’s for obedience and would recommend them to anyone. You can see that training and rehabilitating these pups is not just a job to them but instead something they are all truly passionate about. Thank you for all you have done for Guppy, I look forward to working with you guys again soon! :) <3

Hands down the best dog trainer/behaviorist I've worked with. Prices are very fair considering that most places keep your dog for 2 to 3 weeks and after that it's your problem, but, NOT THEM! They work at the dog's pace and time is not a problem, THEY WILL WORK WITH YOUR DOG UNTIL YOU SEE RESULTS! Will be taking My Rottie back for Off Leash and Bite work! Highly Recommended!

I love Caspers Camp Hope. The owners, Jimmy, Dania, are so amazing. Jimmy explains the psychology behind what they do and it all makes sense.
We had a young dog that started attacking her housemate. Turns out there's a reason for it and Jimmy recognized it as resource guarding right away. We immediately signed the two dogs up for training.
My pup Cricket was trusted to trainer Junior and when we did our first practice session we were blown away. Cricket was more focused than ever on her "work".
The third practice session was with our dogs together. There was a complete turn around in Crickets attitude towards her housemate Auggie. She will never like Auggie but they walk together and can be together and Cricket isn't starting any fights!
We can NOT thank Jimmy, Dania, and Junior enough.
Caspers Camp Hope helped bring peace and some sanity back to our household.
If you're having issues or just want your buddy to get some great training you should definitely call Caspers Camp Hope. They saved Cricket from rehoming and our family from a lot of heart ache. Thank you all again!

I am thankful for Jimmy and his staff. They invested a ton of time and energy into our little dog. Not sure what we would have done but Jimmy turned things around. His follow up has been the most valuable part. We have been back for additional training and are enjoying our little dog again.

We have a small but aggressive dog who guarded his food and the couch. We didn’t know if we would be able to keep him. But Jimmy and his team literally saved our dog’s life. Jimmy was able to train our dog to respect us and he taught our family how to continue to work with the dog at home. We’ve worked with another trainer who wasn’t dedicated to our dog’s improvement. But Jimmy is available whenever we call with questions and walks us through the situation. I highly recommend Casper’s Camp Hope

I am happy with the results I had with Jimmy Nievez, we can eat and do things in front of him without him having bad behavior like before, we give him treats from time to time or when he has passed bigger challenges, he respects the other dog's space when before I wanted to attack her ?? and I know of the work she does with more powerful dogs and her results. Greetings!
Seeing this scenario I felt a satisfaction that everything had been worth it.

Our dog 100% was not worked with but rather neglected and is now worse than when we sent him due to whatever he experienced at Casper’s Camp Hope. He was returned to us in such poor conditions and when we expressed our concerns we were met with nothing but excuses. As owners we were aware that our dog would need consistent follow-through and training after he was returned and that we wouldn’t receive a fully trained dog, however his fluency for maybe 3 commands learned over 3 MONTHS, was at about 5%. They offered to take him back for a week to reset his training but after seeing the conditions and state he was in, we absolutely were not comfortable with our dog returning to this business. Moral of the story, do NOT send your dog here.

Our dog spent 3 months with them. He got a little better walking on the leash. He is now terrified when he goes to the vet or to the groomers. Far worse than before. Major separation anxiety. He was filthy when he was returned to us and I had to give him 2 baths with the water turning brown each time. He also lost about 10% of his body weight. In my personal opinion they have far too many animals for the number of employees. Jimmy is the only trainer and the rest of the employees are in training. There is simply no way Jimmy can work with each dog (likely 20+) each day.
We raised our concerns when he was first returned to us and they blamed us for not having each family member attend training each and every time. During our 2nd training it had to be cut short because a large aggressive dog was being received which they said was our fault. In response to his hygiene, they simply said they were not a groomer and the dogs were bathed regularly. In response to his weight loss, they said he was a picky eater yet they also told us he was highly motivated by food. This dog is the furthest thing from a picky eater I could imagine.
We spent far too much money for little to no results. I would recommend finding someone else.

Great experience with the team and the environment. They care and train your dog the right way. My dog started to show some agressive behaviors and I sent him to a training in my city (St Pete, FL), long story short, my dog came worst from the training since they didn’t know how to train my ROTTWEILER. This company was recommended by a friend who lives in Gainesville and this is what my dog needed. He is a different dog, the behavior rehabilitation really helped him and we can’t be more happy now. It’s 100% recommended and worth it.
