if any of these resonate...

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

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

"I wish we could go for a peaceful walk without all the distractions."

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

"She’s so driven, I just don’t know how to get her to focus on me."

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

"He’s so stubborn, he won’t listen to me unless I’ve got treats in my hand."

"It's like he forgets all his training and it all goes out the window."

then i can help!

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.

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! ☺️
