We found a rental in Galveston so we are moving.
Now last time we moved I did it all wrong.
We will be moving with a uhual and our car the dogs will be in the car of course.
But do I kennel them in the house befor we start moving.
Or do I Leave them at my house now and get them last.
It will only take about 3 hours total to get moved completly.
But they have there own room at this house so could I put them in there.
And we have a backyard again last time bruider was to young for a back yard to really use it.
Well now we have roscoe and bruiser who are both old enough to play in the back yard. How do I get them used to a backyard.
Considering they have been leashed up to this point. In our courtyard at our apartment.
Any information or suggestions might help
I what this to go smooth for them.

IMO, I would crate them and place them in a bedroom with the door closed until you are all moved out and into the new place and then take them last.
I would also put them in a bedroom (or even in the spot their crates will be once your settled) in the new place in crates until you get some of your furniture moved and situated.
Then let them out to investigate.

IMO, I would crate them and place them in a bedroom with the door closed until you are all moved out and into the new place and then take them last.
I got to spend a few weeks walking around our property and new neighborhood before we moved in.
Even a few days might help. Not making a huge fuss over the new place....'nother day, different scenery.
Wearing their butts out with exercise just seems like a good place to start with something potentially stressful, like moving. On top of Carol's advice, of course.

Can one person be in charge of animals? A person who keeps track and potties/water/feeds on moving day?
Also, what Michael mentioned is important, IMO: walking the dogs immediately so they have a sense of where they are, just in case. And you want to make sure that their I.D. tags have a contact number that won't be cut off on moving day.

Yes there is a elactric fence we are putting a fence in this week befor we move in though.
There tags only have numbers cell so that covered.
My 13 year old niece cant really help move she will be incharge of the dogs. But We are moving a hour a way we have to come back after we load and unload the uhaul anyway.
I will be drving down there every day these next two weeks to get them used to the nieghbor hood. Thanks everyone I feel more confident with this.
I have 2 weeks to pack a hole house and 3 dogs help me
so the yard will have a regualar fence in one week
Your attitude is going to tell them how they should act. Don't even think about the situation. You are moving regardless. This is just the way it is.
Project that attitude and you'll be fine.
I always worried about what my dogs were thinking in new or strange situations. The most recent strange situation for them being the birth of my son. This time, I didn't even think about it. It was pointless to worry. My son is gonna' be here, so the dogs HAVE to deal. It never even crossed my mind how they "felt". Not being heartless, just not putting human emotions on my dogs.
They never once blinked when he came home.
These aren't dogs that did well with change in the past. Now I know that those problems with change were made bigger by me. They only worried as much as I did.

i wanted to say thank you.
We went on our first walk around our new neihborhood today
and my new landlord already gave me a key so we can go check out the house also. When we walk them.
the fence guys got the fence put up in one day.
So they get to rump around the backyard for a few minutes.
I wanted to add a question
here at the complex they have there own flee people.
But what can I put in the yard to help with the fleas.
anything is fine I try to do natural as much as possible but I am not just a big freak about it. No punt intended
