When I brought Tebow, my fearful and reactive Doberman, to Casper's Camp Hope, I wasn't sure he would ever have the opportunity to live a normal life. Tebow would lunge at people out of fear and, because of his behavior, could not be safely rehomed. Jimmy welcomed Tebow into his behavior modification program and spent nearly 90 days working with him. Through patience, professionalism, consistency, and genuine love for dogs, Jimmy transformed Tebow into a confident, obedient dog who learned to trust people and navigate the world without fear. Because of Jimmy's dedication, Tebow was given a true second chance. Today, he is happily living with a wonderful retired couple in a loving home with a fenced yard. Jimmy didn't just train Tebow--he also spent time training the adoptive owners, providing them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to continue Tebow's success long after adoption. What sets Casper's Camp Hope apart is that they don't promise a quick two-week fix. They invest the time needed to build trust, strengthen the human-dog relationship, and create lasting behavioral change. Their approach focuses on developing confidence, stability, and lifelong healthy habits rather than temporary obedience. I cannot recommend Casper's Camp Hope highly enough. Jimmy gave Tebow the opportunity to become the dog he was always capable of being and, in doing so, gave him the chance to find the loving family he deserved. Thank you, Jimmy, for believing in Tebow when so many others would have given up. His new family absolutely adores him, and seeing him happy, confident, and thriving is the greatest gift anyone could have given him. read more

Dania and Jimmy are a power duo and together with their incredible/kind/caring staff, they have completely transformed our furry son! Our Wrangler is a pit bull/catahoula mix that went in anxious and insecure and has come out with confidence and trust! At his practices, we have witnesssed and have been able to do things we could have never dreamed of doing before! My husband and I were fearful of taking him out in public or even simple places like the park because he would pull on his leash and would react unexpectedly (we did not know how he would react to other people and especially other dogs)! We didn't want him to be confined to our home and decided to take Wrangler to Casper's Camp Hope! He has excelled at SO many things! At our most recent/final practice, we were able to take him to Home Depot and Lowe's! This is HUGE to us because he listened to us and our commands despite the loads of people or presence of other dogs! We could never do that before and now can! I'd also like to highlight the lessons that Jimmy has personally instilled in me! He's taught me to be more confident as an owner and to ultimately nourish the trust/bond between Wrangler and I! I am a nervous person by nature, but Jimmy has shifted my mindset and taught me cues to be the most confident/aware/leadership-figure Dog Mom I can be! Thank you to all the team of Casper's Camp Hope! We could not recommended them more! They are patient, like family, and the perfect hands to put your dog in! They give you hope and turn your vision of giving your dog the best quality of life into a reality! read more

Casper's Camp Hope are life savers! Literally! My Lelouch became uncontrollable and very aggressive when I was battling cancer in 2017. He was 18 months old and extremely insecure. After several vicious attacks on my other dog and numerous conflicts with my neighbors, everyone was screaming at me to get him euthanized... including my three kids. Fortunately, I found Casper's Camp Hope and had him rehabilitated and trained instead. In the beginning, it was hard and difficult to stay disciplined with the rules. I learned the hard way not to break the rules when Lelouch attacked my other dog because of it. I was ready to give up. I called CCH and they talked me through the frustration while reminding me of the importance of following the rules. I had to remain disciplined. It's been a long road, but it has become easier with time. Even though I keep my two dogs that fight apart, this year I introduced 3 new pups to my home and was ecstatic with Lelouch's response. Even in play, I'm still cautious of his body language and willwill remove the pups if I notice him getting agitated. He has come a long way and he will be 10 years old this December!! Again, when he was 18 months old, I was told to euthanize him and now he's almost 10 years old!! He's had to live a very disciplined life but at least he's had a life to live and it's all thanks to CASPER's CAMP HOPE!! read more

Jimmy and Dania changed my insecure and aggressive dog into a very well trained and manageable dog. Just when I was considering giving up, I was referred to Casper's Camp Hope. They took in my dog and the training began. It was not a quick fix. During that time, I received phone call updates, videos and photos to keep up with his progress. Then it was my turn to be trained. We met on many occasions for me to learn how to manage this dog before I could bring him home. But that's not the end of our relationship with Jimmy and Dania. That is because they care! I can call at any time with questions, concerns or problems. We can go over and practice difficult situations in their backyard. They are always there for us. My dog stays there whenever needed. We are so fortunate to have Casper's Camp Hope in Gainesville for any dog owner that needs basic training or extensive training. for their dog and themselves. To say we are grateful is an understatement. read more

Casper's Camp Hope is a LIFE SAVER! During my battle with cancer, my 120lb dog became super aggressive. I was told by several people to have him put down. Fortunately for my Lelouch, I chose to get him rehabilitated at Casper's Camp Hope. It has been life changing for me and life saving for Lelouch. It has been 2 years now and Lelouch continues to thrive. CCH isn't just for dog training; they are dog behaviorists who specialize in aggressive dogs but also trains therapy dogs. I highly recommend calling CCH before you decide to euthanize your aggressive dog. Your dog's life is worth it. CCH is bilingual with English and Spanish. read more

El mejor centro de entrenamiento que puedas encontrar. Cuidan de tu perro como si fuera de ellos. Mila estuvo por casi 4 meses en entrenamiento, llegó siendo una perra muy nerviosa y ansiosa con la que no se podía salir a caminar por que le tiraba a todo lo que se moviera. Hoy es una perrita segura, que disfruta cada minuto de sus caminatas. Nosotros amamos Casper's y cada que vamos a salir de viaje ella se queda con ellos y es feliz, la dejamos tranquilos por que sabemos que ella se siente como en casa. read more

I don't know where we'd be without Casper Camp Hope! Jimmy and the training is absolutely amazing. Our Teddy had a lot of anxiety that was manifesting as aggression. Jimmy taught him all manner of behavior modifications in addition to basic training. He's now a working and purpose driven pup! Dania is an incredible communicator and kept us apprised of his progress. We were so impressed, we opted to have our other good boy trained up too! I can't say enough good things about Casper Camp Hope! read more

We've had our puppy trained by Jimmy and Dania, and both our dogs visit regularly. This is the only boarding facility I trust my senior dog with! They understand all dogs but they have a soft spot for the older ones. They are consistent with our puppy and give her the exercise she needs (always finding a playmate to match her energy level), and they have a special senior dog day camp group to protect the older ones. Their staff is fantastic as well. read more

I did not bring Tebow to Casper's his breeder, Elaine brought him there. I don't know how Tebo was before, but after spending a month and going to Gainesville every week, Jimmy instructed me and showed me how to handle a big boy like Tebow. Tebow has been a gentleman and a love of my life. He knows what I'm thinking before it even comes out of my mouth very observant very obedient very loving more than I could ever ask for. Thank you so much, Jimmy. read more

My experience with Casper Camp Hope was excellent, Ginger has a rocketed behavior where she can go from 0 to 100 in fractions of a second, the help us with that behavior and some others. They really take care of the owner and pet needs. They teach the owner how interact with the pet and how handle different situations that may occur. Definitely recommend their services. read more

Dania and Jimmy are incredible. Always made me feel comfortable about my pup Lucy being there for training. She is a little tank and with my busy schedule was hard for me taking time to train her properly. She is home and a well behaved girl. The foundation she received from Casper's Camp is exactly what I and my Lucy needed. Thank you Dania, Jimmy and Casper's Team! read more

Casper's Camp Hope was amazing with our dog Gemma who was very insecure. She was a rescue who would not let a vet near her. They worked with local vet Michael Sturgeon so that Gemma would be comfortable going to the office for treatment. I would definitely recommend them! read more
