'Hope you enjoyed my yard. Have a good day.'

If a bear happens to enter your yard, experts say you should attempt to scare it away with loud noises, creating a negative experience for the wild animal. This way, bears won't lose their fear in humans, which can become incredibly dangerous.

Jordan Cote took a more polite approach.

"How a Canadian responds to wildlife," Cote wrote on Facebook along with a video which shows him politely asking a mama bear and her two cubs to please move along.

"I need you guys to go, OK?" Cote says to the three bears. When they start to walk away he thanks them, before a final sendoff.

"Hope you enjoyed my yard. Have a good day," Cote says calmly.
