about the webinar

Retrievers are often seen as the perfect family dog, but they are also working dogs with strong instincts to retrieve, carry, scent and work alongside people. When those instincts do not have the right outlet, owners can find themselves managing stolen socks, pulling, selective recall, over-excitement and a dog that never seems to fully switch off.

In this live webinar, Nick Pratt from Bear Basics Canine Academy will explain why those behaviours make sense for a Retriever, and why more exercise or more commands alone often do not solve the problem. You will learn a clearer, more balanced approach built around the seven core pillars of a happy, fulfilled gundog: health and well-being, diet and nutrition, genetic fulfilment, sleep and rest, relationship, structure and boundaries, and training and communication.

This webinar is for Labrador, Golden Retriever, Flat-Coated Retriever and similar breed owners who want calmer walks, more reliable communication and a dog who can be part of everyday family life without losing their character or enthusiasm.

Nick Pratt

Nick Pratt is the co-founder of Bear Basics Canine Academy and creator of Calm by Nature, a programme designed specifically for pet gundog owners. His approach was shaped by his own experience of living with a high-drive gundog and the realisation that generic training often fails to address the instincts behind the behaviour. Nick helps owners understand their dog’s genetics, meet their needs appropriately and build calmer, more connected lives together through clear structure, practical training and genuine fulfilment.
