Our programmes are designed to give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to train your dog effectively, tackle behavioural challenges, and create a well-balanced, fulfilled companion. Whether you're struggling with recall, loose lead walking, overexcitement, or frustration-driven behaviours, our structured training will help you understand and work with your dog’s instincts, rather than against them.
We know that every dog and owner is unique, which is why we take a tailored approach to ensure you get the best results. We’re always happy to chat—so feel free to drop us a message and find out which programme is the right fit for you!

I'm here to help
It can be incredibly frustrating, overwhelming, and even embarrassing when you're living with a working breed dog who’s constantly chasing, barking at everything in sight, or ignoring your recall command. Whether it’s a high-energy dog pulling on the lead, a dog who’s easily distracted by other dogs or wildlife, or one who struggles with boundary-setting at home, managing these behaviours can feel like a never-ending challenge.
At Bear Basics, we understand the unique traits of working breeds and their natural instincts. But don’t worry – we’re here to help. Imagine a future where your dog is focused, responsive, and able to walk calmly by your side. Picture a dog who greets guests politely, settles in the pub or café without a fuss, and comes back to you when called, no matter the distraction. With our personalised training programmes, we’ll work with you to create the strong, cooperative relationship you and your working breed need to thrive together.
personalised dog training programmes are perfect for:
First-time dog owners seeking guidance to build a strong, trusting relationship with their dog, while respecting their breed traits and natural instincts.
Dog owners facing behavioural challenges like pulling on the lead, unreliable recall, or reactivity, with a focus on creating clear, structured communication and addressing underlying needs.
Owners of rescue dogs (specifically from working backgrounds) who require a compassionate approach, helping them adjust and thrive in their new environment through tailored training, understanding, and building confidence.
