In short, they bear suit man is presumably giving felatio to the man in the suit. There is no explanation in the movie about it, it's just supposed to be an extremely strange scene in the movie about the strange occurances at the hotel and it's former owners. It may have been explained in scenes cut from the film, but that is not known. It does, however, have a place in the book:

From IMBD.com FAQ about the Shining:

To understand what's going on, you have to have read the book.

At a point about three quarters of the way through the novel, when "the hotel was running things," as Jack is about to be served his first drink by the Overlook, Danny walks out of the Torrences' apartment within the hotel and attempts to go to Jack and stop the Bad Thing from happening. Blocking his way, however, is a man "dressed in some sort of silvery, spangled costume. A dog costume...." Danny asks to be let by, but the costumed man begins barking and howling and threatening to "eat [Danny] up," starting with his "plump, little cock." The man then makes references to "blowing down" Harry Derwent, and continues to menace Danny until the boy goes back inside the Torrences' living quarters. Later, during one of those time-bending sequences when the hotel brings its past back to life, the mystery man's identity is explained. One of the Overlook's former owners was a man named Horace Derwent, an eccentric Howard Hughes type who poured over three million into restoring the Overlook after WWII, hoping to make it "the Showplace of the World." At one of his lavish masques thrown for the benefit of the rich and famous, Horace played mockingly with one of the guests - Roger - who was dressed up like a dog. During the hotel's "re-enactment" of the party for Jack, a gorgeous woman explains to him that Derwent is bisexual ("AC/DC...although he never goes for repeats on his DC side"), and Roger is a former lover. According to the woman, Horace told Roger "if he came to the masked ball as a doggy, a cute little doggy, he might reconsider (having sex with Roger)." Although no actual sex scene between Roger, the costumed man, and Derwent is described in the book, Kubrick's vision is a logical extension of their relationship.

It's difficult to say why this scene remains in the film, as it's somewhat confounding without all of the setup that King provides in the book. Perhaps its jarring incongruity is reason enough for its inclusion, illustrating as it does Wendy's extreme disorientation at that point in the film. Another explanation is that the background on Derwent may have been scripted and filmed, but excised in the final cut.

The issue is that dogs are poor generalizers - it's not that the dog is "sneaky, greedy" etc, but that they have no intrinsic sense of morality or "rightness" and so only think something is "bad" if it has bad consequences. If it has never had bad consequences except with a human in the room, then how on earth are they to know that the rules still apply with the human out of the room? You need to train in such a way that corrections and rewards occur when the dog does not think you are present - i.e. hiding around the corner. Read here https://tr.im/OlhCJ

I personally owned a Labrador Retriever (read: chow hound) that could be left 6" from a hot dog in a sit-stay for half an hour and not touch it - the word was "mine" and it meant that you don't touch that, even if I am not in the room, even if whatever, you DO NOT touch that. You could leave a plate of food on the floor for hours and not only would she not touch it, she would also keep the other animals (dogs and cats) from touching it.

In all probability, these dogs studied were just not properly trained/proofed before the experiment. With "proofing" to set them up and catch them in the act to give

The bear costumed guy is a sex slave to the other man in the same room. It is never explained in the movie, but combined with behind the scenes tapes of the movie, and context clues from the book it is implied as such.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU8Lu

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

It's symbolism for sexual abuse. There's actually a few scenes pointing towards the father having an incestuous relationship with his son.
