What Your Free Consultation Gets You
What you'll walk away with, before you spend a dollar.
A Real Behavior Assessment
Jimmy reads what your dog is actually doing and why, and tells you straight what it will take to change it.
A Custom Training Plan
A plan built around your dog and your household, matched to the right program: board and train, one on one sessions, or daycare and boarding.
The "Why" Behind the Behavior
Understand what is driving the reactivity, barking, or pulling, and how your own reactions may be feeding it.
Obedience That Holds Up
Recall, place, and loose leash walking that hold in the yard, on the trail, and around other dogs, not just when you have a treat in hand.

Behavior Problems We Solve
Any breed, any age. If your dog's behavior is making walks, visitors, or everyday life stressful, this is what we fix.
Reactivity & Aggression
Lunging, barking, and aggression toward dogs, people, or visitors, addressed at the root instead of managed forever.
Anxiety & Fearfulness
Nervous, skittish, or over-aroused dogs learn to process what they are feeling and settle instead of spiral.
Leash Pulling & Barking
Walks you can actually enjoy, plus a quieter house, without a constant fight over the leash.
Obedience & Impulse Control
Sit, down, place, and a recall that holds under real-world distraction, because obedience should be a way of life.
Training Programs & Services
Your free consultation ends with the right program for your dog, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Board & Train
Your dog lives and trains with us full time and comes home with the behavior already changed. Photo and video updates the whole way through, plus the handover coaching that keeps the results at home.
Behavior Modification
Our specialty: reactivity, fear, and aggression worked at the root instead of managed forever. We meet each dog where it is and rebuild confidence step by step.
Daycare, Boarding & One-on-One
Structured daycare and boarding with trainers who know your dog, plus one on one sessions and train-the-owner coaching so the training is reinforced every day.
Meet Jimmy, Your Gainesville Behavior Specialist
Jimmy Nievez and the team at Casper's Camp Hope are more than dog trainers, they're the behavior specialists families across Florida drive hours to reach. Every plan is built around the individual dog: what it's feeling, what's driving the behavior, and what it will actually take to change it.
Clients describe the same two things again and again. The first is communication: photos and videos throughout board and train, so you watch the change happen instead of hearing about it at pickup. The second is that Jimmy, Dania, and Naomi train the owner as much as the dog, so the results hold once the leash is back in your hand.
The mission behind it all is simple: help the underdog thrive. From fearful rescues to reactive dogs others gave up on, Casper's Camp Hope exists to prove that with the right help, all dogs can be good dogs.
“Helping the underdog thrive. With the right help, all dogs can be good dogs.”

The people who run Casper’s Camp Hope are truly doing it for the love of helping dogs. I have gone to other trainers who tried to target my pup’s reactivity when it was all rooted in fear and insecurity. I was hesitant to board and train him because it is hard to be away from your dog for an extended period of time, but I am so happy that I did. Dania, Jimmy, and the other trainers took the time to meet my dog (and others) where they are individually. They put my dog first every single day for the entire time that he was boarded and training with them. I have already referred several people to bring their dogs here for literally any behavioral issue. My dog, Rowan, went to sleep away camp to build confidence and work through his fears, and I can’t wait to continue to support him with the work that Casper’s Camp Hope started. Thank you, Casper’s Camp Hope!!

My dog, Luke, was fear aggressive with strangers and other dogs. I could not take him anywhere. He was also reactive to any animal and immediately chased everything he saw. Our walks were a nightmare resulting in physical injuries for me. Jimmy Nievez at Casper’s Camp Hope transformed my dog. The fear aggression is gone and Luke can walk in public without fear and reactivity. He follows commands. The transformation is remarkable. Dania and Jimmy communicated with me every step of the way. They reassured me with calls, videos of Luke during training, training practices and our final test. If you have a fear reactive dog or a dog that needs training, take them to Jimmy at Casper’s Camp Hope. It was the best decision I ever made.

I am a US veteran who sent his standard poodle Zeus because he had behavior problems and they not only helped with his behavior problems, but they also helped him become a service dog. I recommend him 100%. Very professional and keeps in touch with you even after training. Thank you, Jimmy for everything.
We have been very happy with our experiences with Casper’s Camp Hope. We have used them for private training, boarding, and day camp. Our dog enjoys Casper’s Camp Hope and they have been instrumental in her development.

I highly recommend Casper’s Camp Hope! I truly cannot say enough great things about this incredible team. Before finding them, I was starting to lose hope that anyone could help me with my 200 pound dog. He’s the biggest sweetheart in the world, once he gets to know you, but his reactivity and strength had become overwhelming, and I felt completely discouraged. From day one, Jimmy, Dania, and the entire team have been supportive, knowledgeable, and responsive. No matter how many questions I have, they are always quick to provide guidance and help, often on very short notice. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, my pup has made tremendous progress and is doing so much better today. Dog training is an ongoing journey, but I finally feel confident that we’re moving in the right direction. I am incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done and would highly recommend Casper’s Camp Hope to anyone looking for compassionate and effective training support.

We sent our 4 month old Rottweiler to them for obedience training and she’s been doing so great! We wanted to make sure we trained her properly because we have 3 young children and not much experience with teaching dogs commands. I feel very confident that I will have all the tools to keep going once she comes home! And they’re so knowledgeable and are always available to answer any questions we have. So thankful for them!
Great price
The trainers are amazing! Our dog has come such a long way since we dropped him off. It’s been really nice having videos and pictures to see your dog’s progress as well. I would highly recommend Casper’s Camp Hope!
We did the 4 visit one hour training. We were very pleased with the guidance and wisdom given to us. We would gladly recommend Casper’s Camp Hope to anyone.
Reasonable price
Dania and Jimmy were very friendly and extremely helpful! We took our 2 puppies to training and had a very good experience.

We had a wonderful experience at the dog training facility in Casper! The staff and trainers were friendly, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Our dog was only four months old when we started, and we quickly noticed positive changes in his behavior. The trainers shared many practical tips and techniques that we could continue using at home. The final “train the owner” session was especially helpful and gave us the confidence to reinforce everything our dog had learned. We are extremely happy with the experience and highly recommend this facility to any dog owner!
Tebow was taken to Casper training camp by his breeder Elaine. I visited Tebow every week for a month with instructions from Jimmy on how to make him the best confident dog and he did wonders. I don’t know what he was like before but now he’s the most wonderful boy, love him so much and excited about our future together. Thank you, Jimmy.
The best training camp ever!!! The best team with the best coaches and caregivers. I live out of town and travel two hours just to leave my kids there because I trust them completely. Four years with them and many more to come!!!
Reasonable price
My dogs have been coming here for the past 4 years. My Oreo and Buttercup love the time spent with Jimmy, Naomi, and Dania!! Highly recommend and the prices for boarding are unbeatable for the level of expertise!!
I picked up Smokey today and I am very pleased with how much he has learned after completing the board and train program! Thank you Casper’s Camp Hope!!
