AKC Certification Prep & Testing in Gainesville, FL

Casper’s Camp Hope Dog Training Now Offers AKC Test Prep & Official Testing

Looking to have your dog recognized for outstanding manners and obedience? Casper’s Camp Hope Dog Training now provides dedicated training sessions and on-site, official AKC testing—serving Gainesville, Alachua, Ocala, and all of North Central Florida.

Why AKC Certification Matters?

Earning an AKC certification—such as the S.T.A.R. Puppy or Canine Good Citizen—demonstrates that your dog has achieved a nationally recognized standard of obedience and good manners. AKC-certified dogs are not only more welcome in public spaces, apartments, and travel situations, but they also enjoy greater safety and a stronger bond with their owners. Certification opens doors to advanced training, therapy and service dog work, and gives you peace of mind knowing your dog meets the highest standards for behavior and reliability.

What’s New:

We now provide dedicated training sessions to prepare your dog for AKC certification tests—including the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Community Canine, and Urban CGC. All sessions are led by certified trainers who are also qualified AKC evaluators, so your dog can both train and test with the same trusted team.
