I don't think they can hunt like dogs do, in a team with others and by smell, and they don't have the same pack instinct that canines have. We made wolves part of our pack, and horses part of our herds, but bears don't have an equivalent social order to fit ourselves into.
Are you really going to let a little thing like that get in the way of pet bears?

Also, reindeer. Or, to take it in another direction, yoked moose.
