When I lived in bear country, a bear was considered a nuisance by me if he decided to enter anything other then a burn barrel. If a bear does not loose interest when ALL the food sources are taken away , you may have a problem. If you continue to feed animals of any kind or leave trash around he will continue to visit. Just because he is not afraid of a dog or stands up to see you better does not necessarily mean he is dangerous or even destructive. He may just be curious or knows there are goodies around and is trying to locate them by smell. That being said , I never really had any one bear be much hassle. We had one get on back porch and paw at screen window ,he was bigger and I scared him off and was never a problem again.
