The Habibi Method™

A New Way to Raise Puppies—With Heart, Intuition, and Connection

Habibi Bears | Habibi Method approach to raising high vibe puppies- trauma informed training

What is the Habibi Method?

The Habibi Method™ is our signature philosophy for raising puppies through connection, not control. Rooted in holistic principles and trauma-informed care, it focuses on supporting the full development of your puppy—emotionally, mentally, and physically.

At its core, the method is about building a relationship with your puppy that’s based on mutual trust, gentle guidance, and intuitive communication. It’s a method made for modern families and emotionally sensitive dogs.

Why It’s Different from Traditional Dog Training

While traditional obedience training often focuses on dominance, compliance, or correction, the Habibi Method is relationship-first and emotionally aware. We don’t use fear, force, or outdated techniques like shock collars or harsh corrections.

Instead, we nurture your dog’s natural gifts using:

  • Positive reinforcement

  • Safe boundaries

  • Body language communication

  • A developmentally appropriate curriculum

This method works with your puppy, not against them.

The Pillars of the Habibi Method

  • 🧠 Holistic Puppy Development: Physical health, emotional safety, and mental stimulation are all addressed equally.

  • 💛 Relationship-Based Guidance: We lead with compassion, connection, and trust—not commands.

  • 🌱 Trauma-Informed Care: Puppies are treated as developing beings, not problems to be fixed.

  • 🌟 Positive Reinforcement: We reward good choices and model desired behaviors instead of punishing mistakes.

The Habibi Blueprint™ — Turning Philosophy into Action

The Habibi Blueprint is the practical roadmap for implementing the method day by day. With flowcharts, milestones, and visual tools, families can confidently raise their puppy with clarity and support. Think of it as your puppy’s developmental GPS.

The Human’s Guide to the Dog Galaxy™

To bring the Habibi Method to life, we created a comprehensive course and companion guide designed specifically for Habibi Bear families. It includes:

  • Communication cues and bonding rituals

  • Potty training and compassionate confinement

  • Socialization strategies

  • Real-time flowcharts and video tutorials

  • Confidence-building and cooperative care

It’s not just training. It’s empowerment—for your puppy and for you.

Why the Habibi Method Works:

This method works because it speaks to the emotional nature of dogs—and humans. By raising puppies with compassion, clear structure, and connection, families create lifelong partnerships based on love and trust.

What families say:

“It felt like our puppy came with an owner’s manual—and she really did.”

“We weren’t just trained. We were transformed.”

What is a Habibi Bear?

The Habibi Bear is its own breed of dog, purposefully cultivated to be the best of a variety of different breeds, all selected for their unique traits and characteristics. The goal in developing the Habibi Bear was to take temperament of wonderful dogs like the cavalier, who are known for their sweet and gentle temperaments, but also known for their health concerns, and find a way, through hybridization, to great a dog who retained the cavalier temperament, but without the health concerns.
