“We recommend Habibi Bears to everyone. We’ve never heard of a breed and a program for raising them all in one place!”
– Jensen Family
We are truly amazed at the ease with which we were able to raise our Habibi Bear; it was so uncomplicated that we decided to add a second one this year. We extend our gratitude for your program and the continued support. As first-time dog owners, we initially felt anxious about the possibility of mismanaging our responsibilities; however, the Human’s Guide to the Dog Galaxy instilled in us a sense of confidence and preparedness.
We thoroughly appreciated the flow charts, as they facilitated easy course corrections and helped us understand the needs of our puppy. As our second Habibi Bear prepares to join our family, we intend to reuse all the supplies and prepare for an abundance of Habibi Bear Magic!

16-week socialization period.

“My dog is my lifeline, raising her with Habibi Method was life changing – Lisa R
Meeting Julie has been one of the best experiences for me in a long time. I was eager to welcome a new puppy into my life and desired a deeper bond with my dog. . I connected with Julie’s philosophy: guiding puppies instead of breaking them. My past experience with a trainer was traumatic and left a negative impact on my last dog. They employed shock collars and prong collars, resulting in my little pup coming home with a collapsed trachea. Unfortunately, that dog was never the same afterward, and I vowed never to send my dog to a trainer again. I aimed to learn how to raise a puppy on my own and empower myself. This is the essence of the Habibi Bear movement. Julie has fostered a wonderful community of individuals who share a passion for their Habibi Bears, and her program has been a refreshing change. She inspires us to delve deep and navigate our challenges by connecting through love rather than punishment. Her insightful perspective on dogs is truly remarkable. Thank you, Julie, for guiding me with your love and support. I did it!
