Do you have a reactive or high energy dog? Feel you need some motivation after a long winter? Do you find yourself worrying about your dog lot?
You need an adventure!
We’ve reimagined this classic children’s book so your dog can take part too! 🐻🐕
Fun theme - serious benefits.
The Bear Hunt is designed for:
Reactive dogs who bark, stare and lunge.
Nervous energy dogs who go 100mph, freeze or plant their feet refusing to move.
High energy and distracted dogs who pull or ignore your recall cues.
Anyone who wants to strengthen the connection with their dog or have fun with other family members!
Expect more focus, more control and less reactive or excitable behaviour on walks and in the house.
1st -30th April
Take part on your normal everyday walks!

The Bear Hunt is our BEST spring challenge yet - with the added bonus that it will strengthen the connection between you and your dog to make your 'serious' goals even more effective!
And you don't even need to go far; whether you live in the city, town or country, whether you're walking the streets, out on hikes or at the local park, you can take part from anywhere 🌍
One thing we’ve learned from working with thousands of reactive and easily distracted dogs and their families over the years is that we tend to get so wrapped up in our dogs' problems that we start to take everything too seriously.
When that happens we can feel frustrated, stuck and miserable - and we may even inadvertently put more pressure on our dogs, causing their behaviour to plateau or even deteriorate. There’s definitely such a thing as trying too hard.
So how do you know when to take your foot off the pedal? We’ve identified 4 red flags that indicate it’s time to lighten up:
🚩Things just feel like they’ve gotten a bit heavy recently
🚩You’ve hit a wall in your training - there’s something just not clicking
🚩You find yourself worrying about your dog’s behaviour a lot
🚩You’re getting frustrated with yourself or with your dog
Taking a break doesn’t mean you stop improving - quite the opposite! The things that are often lacking: light-heartedness, adventure, and fun are actually the things that can supercharge your relationship and make training your dog easier.
When you stop taking everything so seriously and you forge a super-strength relationship with your dog, everything becomes possible. Because you're having fun together, they choose to focus on you instead of the many distractions out there and training them not to pull, lunge and to come back when called becomes so much easier.
This is what makes our training different.
We know it’s weird. We know it’s wonderful. And we know it works. We’ve tested it with hundreds of different dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments: dog owners who have fun and don’t take themselves too seriously, get better results.
If you found yourself saying yes to any one of those red flags, the Bear Hunt is the antidote.
