"My dog has so much energy, and I don’t know how to manage it."

"She’s always pulling on the lead, no matter what I do."

"I wish we could walk peacefully without distractions."

"I’m tired of feeling embarrassed when he pulls or barks at everything."

"She’s so driven, I can’t get her to focus on me."

"My dog has selective hearing, especially when there’s a scent or another dog nearby."

"He’s stubborn and won’t listen unless I have treats in my hand."

"It feels like he forgets all his training and everything goes out the window."

then we can help!

At Bear Basics, we offer tailored training programmes designed to give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to tackle any behavioural challenge.

​

Whether it’s managing energy, improving recall, or fixing frustrating behaviours like pulling on the lead or barking at everything, we’ll help you work with your dog’s instincts instead of against them.

 

Every dog is unique, so our training is always personalised to suit your needs. Let’s chat about how we can help you build the relationship you and your dog deserve!

I'm here to help

Living with a working breed dog can feel like a constant battle against their natural instincts. Whether it’s chasing, barking, pulling on the lead, or ignoring commands, it can be overwhelming and frustrating. But we get it, and we’re here to help. At Bear Basics, we understand how to work with your dog’s unique traits.

 

Together, we can turn those struggles into successes. Imagine having a focused, calm dog that walks by your side, greets guests politely, and responds to you, no matter the distraction. With our personalised training, we’ll help you and your dog build a trusting relationship and set you both up for long-term success.

i wish i started working with them sooner

"I contacted Bear Basics Canine Academy when I was having a lack of commitment with our previous behaviourist and things just wasn’t progressing. I had only ever trained with positive reinforcement so choosing a balanced trainer is new to me. However, Nicks practices align with exactly what I want and it is in fact very positive! I do the WhatsApp mentoring which works very well as I’m not local and I highly recommend! My cocker spaniel has already progressed lots with her ‘homework’. I really wish I started working with bear basics sooner. Thank you Nick and Yas for your commitment & I can’t wait to keep smashing our goals!"
