"she get's to go on every adventure"
"We couldn't take her on family outings or on vacation or camping or anything. I never thought in a million years Winnie would be off leash, given how often she’d run away. She walks beautifully on a leash. She is fulfilled and relaxed now in the home. Winnie has now become this special dog that gets to go on every adventure with us."

"walks are now genuinely enjoyable"
"Walks with Dave were so stressful I'd dread them and wait for the weekend when my husband could take over. Now he's off-lead everywhere, comes back instantly to a whistle, and the whole family are enjoying taking him out."

DAVE - SHOW COCKER, NOTTINGHAM
"our morning walks are completely different"
"I used to hope Gus would come back from the woods. Now he checks in with me, walks beside me, and I can take him almost anywhere with complete confidence."

"he's been off lead for the first time ever"
"Loki is like a different dog. He settles in the house, listens, and has now been off lead for the first time ever. For a dog with his level of prey drive, this is honestly something I never thought would happen, never mind in 3 months."

LOKI - GSP X BRITTANY, LANCASHIRE
"buttons has so much more freedom"
"Our walks have gone from chaos to enjoyable. Buttons has so much more freedom and I have the comfort that he will listen and that he is safe. It feels like we both have so much confidence in each other, and that only blooms more and more each day."

BUTTONS - COCKAPOO, BIRMINGHAM
"a lot more freedom"
"I’m enjoying my walks far more. We can walk now on pavements again. Her loose lead walking’s really nice. We can go past other dogs and people without her lunging. And she’s off lead. She’s e-collar trained, so she has a lot more freedom."
frazer g.
ORLA - VIZLA, LONDON
"we wake up on weekends now excited"
"We went from not being able to take her anywhere to the complete opposite. She walks off-lead, recalls from any distraction, is neutral around dogs, and settles in the office. Going from 'oh my god, your dog is crazy' to 'oh my god, your dog is so well behaved' was just such a big switch."

LIMA - COCKER SPANIEL, NEWCASTLE
"regret not starting sooner"
"Walks with Remy were impossible, pulling like a steam train, couldn't be trusted off-lead, and we'd tried other trainers with no luck. Since Bear Basics, walks are calmer, he settles, follows boundaries, and our bond is stronger than ever. "

REMY - SPROCKER, DRIGHLINGTON
"stress-free"
"We’ve got the dog that we dreamed we could have. Typical walk now is stress-free. He’s absolutely fantastic off the lead. I can just call him from sort of halfway across the field and off he comes back to my side."
matt m.
STANLEY - COCKER SPANIEL, ESSEX
"hard work to actual pleasure"
"He was a lot calmer and he was a different dog. And I’m not kidding you, it’s just gone from hard work to actual pleasure. Now we’ve got to the stage where he can be off lead. I’m more relaxed, and we’re having fun."

CHARLIE - SPRINGER SPANIEL, NEW ZEALAND
"we have literally got a different dog"
"Rex was so prey-driven, we couldn't trust him off-lead and walks were anxiety-inducing. Now he walks by our side without a leash and comes back even mid-chase. The feeling is just absolute relief."
ros c.
REX - SPRINGER SPANIEL, HOLMFIRTH
"absolutely life-changing"
"Ruby's prey drive was off the scale, off-lead time never happened outside a secure field and on-lead walks were a struggle. Now we have really enjoyable off-leash adventures, she settles in a coffee shop or pub, and walks beside us on and off the lead."
anne s.
RUBY - SPRINGER SPANIEL, NOTTINGHAM
"life with him is fun"
"Walks with Cooper were a nightmare, pulling, chasing birds, and unreliable recall. Since Bear Basics, walks are calm, he recalls reliably even around pheasants, and he's calmer at home. We get compliments everywhere we go."
holly m.
COOPER - GOLDEN RETRIEVER, LEEDS
"i even considered giving him up"
"Life with Copa was manic and stressful, and I'd reached the point where I genuinely considered giving him up. Now I understand his needs, our walks are enjoyable, and our relationship has completely transformed."
trish w.
COPA - LABRADOR, WALES
"fun to have on walks"
“Whenever he was stressed, I would get stressed as well. He could settle better. He could sleep better. He could sleep more. And right now he can pretty much be off leash all the time. Genuinely I did not have to worry about him not coming back.”
roel b.
JACK - DUCK TOLLING RETRIEVER, NETHERLANDS
"walks are so much more enjoyable now"
"Zeus’s recall has gone from 80% to 100%, and he is so much more settled at home. He is happier, we’re less stressed, and everything feels easier."

ZEUS - GSP, SUSSEX
"i’m finally confident walking her alone”"
"Saige no longer lunges or barks at people or dogs, and her recall is stronger around prey. She is happier and more confident, and so am I."
