Hi! We are moving from Idaho to Mississippi and I would like to know the best way to help our two dogs adjust to their new home and environment. They already know something is going down especially the GS. The Min Pin does too but doesn't show it as much. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Rebecca
I did the same thing I would have done bringing a new pet into my home. I kept a tether on in the house for a while, uitilized the crate when I couldn't be right with him ect. This was in 2010, and he had been known to mark in new places, so I was doing the housetraining thing all over again to make sure he didn't get a chance. Same crate, same food bowls, same food and same schedule.
I'm sure there is better advice coming, but I'd just act like it's no big deal and keep the same routine. Usually, my dogs are fine in new situations if they are not rushed and I am not tense.

Caesar Milan wrote in his book to get to the house and take dogs out for a walk before letting them in the house. Introduce them to the neighbourhood, burn off the energy and then take them in.
I usually just let them in and run around for a few seconds, then call them to the backdoor to let them explore the yard. Then I put down food and water so they know where their place is. Also put their old smelly bedding down, again so they know it's home.
I haven't had any problems with my dogs and have moved them from Texas, US to England, back to the US, CT and then back to Texas. We don't have set routines, but we do usually do some sort of walk every day, and the dogs' crates move with them. Our dogs do spend a lot of time in plastic crates going to training etc, so they are used to moving around.
