Does your dog bark, lunge, or act out on walks? You’re not alone! Many dog owners in Gainesville, Alachua County, and Ocala struggle with leash reactivity and anxious behaviors. At Casper’s Camp Hope Dog Training, we offer real solutions for reactive dogs—whether you live in Haile Plantation, Tioga, Jonesville, Newberry, Arredondo, Archer, Duckpond, Suburban Heights, Millhopper, University Park, or anywhere nearby.
Why Do Dogs Become Reactive?
Leash reactivity is often triggered by poor social skills, negative past experiences with other dogs, or insecurity. According to a 2018 study published in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, dogs with positive, structured socialization are less likely to develop reactivity and anxiety (Reference: Casey et al., 2018). That’s why socialization for reactive dogs is at the core of what we do.

Our Unique Approach: Professional, Science-Backed Dog Training
Our dog daycare and dog boarding programs are designed to build social skills and manners, so your dog learns to play, have fun, and behave better on walks. The best dog training happens when your pup is supervised by experienced trainers and mentor dogs—like Bernie, our beloved Saint Bernard, who helps guide and calm anxious pups.
Success Story: From Reactive to Relaxed
Meet Luna from Millhopper. Luna’s leash reactivity made daily walks stressful for her owner. After attending our leash reactivity classes and spending time in our dog daycare, Luna learned to mirror Bernie’s calm behavior.
