Our Mission
Bringing Healing and Love Through Habibi Bears
Our mission is to inspire healing and connection through our dogs. We believe that being in a true relationship with a dog brings profound healing and joy, enriching both human and canine lives.
Traditional breeds often struggle in today’s world, having been created for tasks of a bygone era—herding, hunting, or guarding. Additionally, centuries of inbreeding in pure breeds have led to a significant loss of genetic diversity, contributing to health problems that many dogs face today. Recognizing this, we set out to create a breed that not only thrives in modern families but also restores the vitality lost in traditional breeding practices.
The Habibi Bear is the result of years of dedicated development. By prioritizing genetic diversity and holistic health, we’ve cultivated a breed that is hypoallergenic, healthy, emotionally intuitive, and perfectly suited for families.
Our mission goes beyond breeding dogs—we aim to nurture relationships and redefine what it means to raise a healthy, emotionally connected companion. Through our intentional practices and unique puppy-raising programs, we empower families to build strong, lasting bonds with their dogs. The Habibi Bear isn’t just a pet; it’s a partner, a healer, and a source of lifelong joy.
Shifting from Control to Collaboration
A New Paradigm in Dog Relationships
The standard approach to dog training often focuses on controlling behavior and stopping unwanted actions. At Habibi Bears, we challenge this paradigm. Dogs are sentient beings with emotions and needs, not objects to control.
Just as we wouldn’t “train” a child through sadness or fear, we shouldn’t treat our dogs as problems to be fixed. Instead, we emphasize a philosophy of partnership, collaboration, and understanding. Our goal is to help families elevate their perspective, fostering a secure attachment and a harmonious relationship with their dog.
“Our Lola is our beloved Bear.”
-Chuck & Nancy
Our sweet Lola is everything we hoped for. At 11 years old, she has been my heart dog and partner for many years. We look forward to welcoming our new puppy into the family and for Lola to teach her the ropes! She’s been an easy dog, we couldn’t believe how much she understood and was so easy to train! Your dogs are very special. Oh, Lola is a Moyen size, and we are waiting for another Moyen. We love their size for outdoor hiking and fun.
Why Secure Attachment Matters
The Foundation for a Lifelong Bond
Over the years, we’ve seen two types of families: those who embrace this ethos and build strong, lasting bonds with their dogs—and those who don’t. Unfortunately, families in the latter group often find themselves struggling with behavioral issues, anxiety, or disconnection.
Without a secure attachment, dogs can feel adrift, reflecting the energy and actions of their humans. This disconnection can lead to frustration, misunderstandings, and reliance on harmful training methods like shock or prong collars. These methods address symptoms, not root causes, leaving the dog’s emotional needs unmet.
At Habibi Bears, we understand that training tricks alone won’t solve deeper behavioral challenges. That’s why we’ve developed a revolutionary approach to puppy raising.
The Habibi Bear Difference
Designed for Emotional Support and Connection
We designed the Habibi Bear to be the ultimate companion—an ideal emotional support, Autism support, therapy, or service dog. Our breed is raised with love and intention, ensuring they are ready to bring joy and healing to their families.
If you’ve met one of our dogs, you’ve likely fallen in love. That’s because they embody everything we strive for: compassion, connection, and calmness. If you want a puppy like that, it’s important to take this journey seriously.
Introducing the Habibi Method
A Holistic Approach to Raising Secure, Confident Dogs
Born from years of experience, the Habibi Method is our step-by-step puppy-raising program that builds secure attachments and fosters collaboration. Featured in The Human’s Guide to the Dog Galaxy, this method helps families focus on what truly matters—developing a deep bond with their puppy.

Why Traditional Training Falls Short
Behavior vs. Training: The Crucial Difference
In a world obsessed with training, we forget the fundamental difference between behavior and tricks. A dog can perform sits, downs, and stays perfectly but still struggle emotionally. Each year, countless dogs suffer from issues like separation anxiety, even when they’ve undergone traditional training.
Our approach recognizes that true behavior change stems from meeting your dog’s emotional and physical needs—not from teaching commands alone. We empower families to understand their dog’s unique language, ensuring their dog feels seen, safe, and secure.
