RH UNITY K9 Welcome to RH UNITY K9
1 to 1 and group training. Help and advice for puppies and adult dogs in North Yorkshire Our service. This service is for thirty minutes.

Providing training consultations to meet your dog's needs. Dog training, one to one's or group classes. I understand the difficulties of meeting the demands of exercise and welfare of a dog, while having to work to pay for it all. This service not only breaks up your dogs day but can benefit in many different behavioural problems such as anxiety, frustration and aggression. You will be surprised

what we can offer and how it can benefit your dog. About me;
I have always wanted to work with animals, and wanted to specialise in working with dogs. Out of all the animals I have worked with dogs have always stood out to me as the animal I am most connected with and understand. I joined the armed forces in 2006 as a military working dog handler and have gained valuable experience from this. I have deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq as a protection dog handler and arms explosive search dog handler, training under constant pressures. Through this I have dealt with all kinds of behavioural problems on a day to day basis. I left the forces after I fulfilled my experience to do what I have always wanted to do; share my knowledge and experience to teach and aid owners and dogs local to myself. With my experience and qualifications I am confident in dealing with all kinds of dogs, and work with all kinds of behaviours. Get in touch and see what I can do for you and your canine companion. Hours of work: Mon- Fri 1100- 1500 (excluding bank holidays)

A free of charge introduction session will be carried out before the first walking session, this way I can get to know your dog(s). All information sheets will be handed out at this point and any questions can be answered. Qualifications and identification will be available to view. Solo walks
This service is ideal for those dogs who like their own space and company. This service runs on half hour or full hour sessions. Group walks
Great for the social dogs, an ideal way to make knew friends and create good bonds with other local dogs. Group walks are up to four dogs at one time and run on half an hour or full hour sessions. Fitness runs
This is ideal for dogs with a little more energy to burn, or dogs with a little weight to shed. I will take your dog on a steady jog matching the dogs individual needs, gradually building up fitness levels. This service runs on thirty minute sessions and is solo only. Feed, water, toilet and play
Exactly what it says on the tin, this service could be ideal for puppies or senior dogs to break up the day without the need of a walk. Emergency call out
Sometimes life happens and you cant make it home when you would like to. This service gives you piece of mind that in one phone call your dog will be seen to so you have one less thing to worry about. I will feed your dog (if requested), top up water and take your dog for a twenty minute walk. The above services are currently only available to the Malton and Terrington area. Training consultations
This will be a one to one session normally lasting around an hour to work on any behaviour problems your dog may have. I will visit your home where I can work on the behaviour in his/hers most comfortable surroundings. Rob Hayden

The 3 pillars of dog reactivity

THE SILENCE OF THE SLAM’S.
Front Door Reactivity.
“A census taker once tried to ring the bell.
My dog ate the blinds with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”

— WHY THE SLAM CREATES CHAOS
🚪 DOOR SLAMS
Your dog: “HELLO CLARICE… THE INTRUDERS HAVE ARRIVED.”
This isn’t dominance.
This isn’t revenge.
This is: 🧠 nervous system theatre.
🔔 SLAM = ALERT
Sudden sound. Sudden panic.
👀 THE WATCHING BEGINS
Now your dog patrols the hallway like a tiny furry FBI agent.
💥 BARKING GETS REWARDED
Person leaves eventually.
Dog files report: “Threat neutralised.”
“The dog remembers things… Clarice.”

— CHANGE THE MEANING
Right now the brain says:
🚪 SLAM = DANGER
We need:
🚪 SLAM = SNACK DISPENSER
Every slam predicts: 🍗 chicken
🧀 cheese
🍖 meat-based emotional support

🎬 TRAINING SCENE: • Tiny slam
• Immediate treat
• Repeat calmly
If your dog screams like they’ve seen Buffalo Bill: You went too fast.
“It puts the treats in the basket.”

— IT PUTS THE DOG ON THE MAT
Teach: 🛏️ PLACE
Because a dog calmly running to bed is better than: 🚀 launching at the front door like a possessed loaf of bread.

NEW SCRIPT: 🚪 slam
➡️ run to mat
➡️ snacks appear
➡️ nervous system downloads update
Soon your dog hears the slam and goes: “Oh good. The floor charcuterie has arrived.”
“A dog on a mat cannot become the main character.”

— MANAGEMENT SAVES LIVES
You cannot calm chaos while rehearsing chaos 37 times a day.
🚧 Use baby gates
🔕 Mute the bell
📱 Ask guests to text first
🪟 Block window patrol duty
🚪 Add soft-close pads
Remember: Management is not weakness.
Management is: “minimum security for maximum sanity.”
“The call is coming from inside the house.”
— WHAT NOT TO DO
❌ DON’T YELL “QUIET”
Now your dog thinks: “Excellent. Mother has joined the ritual.”
❌ DON’T GRAB OR PUNISH
Fear + doorway = bigger reactions.
❌ NO SHOCK COLLARS
Nothing says “visitors are terrifying” quite like surprise electrocution.
❌ DON’T EXPECT INSTANT RESULTS
Your dog has rehearsed this performance for years.
Be patient, Clarice.
“Silence the slam.
Not the dog.”

Dose your dog lick you?

WHY DOES MY DOG
WICKED LICKED
So Much?
🧙‍♀️🐶 A paws-itively spellbinding guide to dog licking

1. DEFYING GROOM-ITY
Your dog refuses to obey the laws of personal space.

2. POPULAR… FOR TREATS
Your hands smell like:
snacks
gravy
crumbs
forbidden sandwich residue
And now your dog is obsessed.

3. THE LICKENING
One tiny lick became:
“Again.”
“Again.”
“Again.”
Now you live with a full-time tongue goblin.

4. NO ONE MOURNS THE BISCUIT
Your dog remembers every treat ever delivered by those hands.
They honour this sacred history accordingly.

5. FOR GOOD
Some dogs lick because they love you.
Some because they’re stressed.
Some because you once accidentally rewarded it while watching Netflix.

6. A BRIEF HISTORY OF SLIME
Dogs explore the world through taste and scent.
Apparently your fingers are today’s featured exhibit.

7. LOATHING
You:
“Please stop licking me.”
Your dog:
👁️👅👁️

8. THE WIZARD AND I
If licking suddenly becomes excessive, frantic, or compulsive, it can sometimes relate to:
stress
anxiety
nausea
allergies
discomfort
So keep an eye on sudden behaviour changes.
💚 EVERY DOG DESERVES A CHANCE TO FLY
…but preferably not tongue-first into your face.

“Its Your Choice” Game Taskmaster dog challenge

It’s your choice (or “It’s Yer Choice” created by dog trainer Susan Garrett) is a fantastic game to play with your dog to teach them self control and frustration tolerance.

The idea behind the game is to teach the dog that to get the things they want, they must make good choices. The good choices they make will be rewarded.

It also involves the dog thinking of itself rather than us asking or showing the dog what we would like them to do. You are controlling the reward, not the dog.

Step 1 – Food in your hand
• Take some of your treats and place them in your hand and close your fist around them.

• Present your hand out to your dog. Keep your hand about level with your dogs nose. Try not to move your hand around if possible.

• Let them investigate your hand. They will be able to smell the treats inside and will probably try to seek access to them. They may start to lick at your hand, nudge your hand or paw at your hand to get the treats out.

• What we are waiting for is for your dog to offer a behaviour that you like – such as moving away from your hand.

• When your dog moves their head away from your hand, open your hand up and take a treat and then say something to them such as “take it” and give them the treat.

• Repeat this exercise until your dog is intentionally staying away from your hand.

• If you dog is nipping at your hands and it becomes uncomfortable, move your hand away behind your back for a few seconds and then represent it out to your dog and try again.

Step 2 – With a open hand
• Once your dog is leaving your hand with it closed, we want to start to open it up.

• Hold the treats in your closed hand as before and wait for your dog to move away. This time, open your hand so your dog can see the treats on the palm of your hand.

• If your dog doesn’t come forward to try and get the treats, praise them and say “take it” and give them a treat from your hand.

• If they move forward towards the treats, close your hand up again and wait for them to move away again.

• To progress the game on, you can then start to add some duration to the exercise.

THE TRUEMAN'S DOG.Seperation anxiety. “Good morning… and in case I don’t see you for the next 14 seconds… AAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

THE TRUEMAN'S DOG.
Seperation anxiety.

“Good morning… and in case I don’t see you for the next 14 seconds… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.”

YOUR DOG THINKS THIS IS NORMAL.
You wake up. You make coffee. You go to the toilet.
Your dog: “Excellent. Another full day together as nature intended.”

WORKING FROM HOME CREATED A MONSTER.
Your dog now believes:
• Humans should never leave
• Zoom calls are illegal
• Closing the bathroom door is emotional abuse
• Shoes mean betrayal

YOUR DOG HAS DEVELOPED A SECURITY SYSTEM.
You move 3 inches.
Your dog: “WHERE ARE WE GOING?”
You stand up.
Your dog: “I SHALL ALSO STAND.”
You look at your keys.
Your dog: “Mother of God…”

THEN ONE DAY… YOU GO BACK TO WORK.
Your dog on Day 1 alone:
“THEY HAVE FALLEN OFF THE EDGE OF THE EARTH.”
Meanwhile your neighbours are learning every note of the song of their people.

SIGNS YOUR DOG MAY BE TOO DEPENDENT:
• Follows you like a haunted Victorian child
• Panics when you shower alone
• Stares at you while you sleep
• Has never emotionally recovered from you taking the bins out

THE FIX?
Teach independence BEFORE it becomes a problem.
Short absences. Calm returns. Puzzle toys. Settle training.
Your dog needs to learn: sometimes humans disappear… and somehow still come back.

IN CASE I DON’T SEE YA… GOOD AFTERNOON, GOOD EVENING, AND PLEASE DON’T GO TO TESCO WITHOUT ME.
