It is unlikely that anyone will argue with the fact that moving is always associated with stress, not only for humans, but also for pets.
To prevent this from happening, dog owners should prepare their pets for the upcoming changes in their lives.
What to do during the training camp
You can avoid the fuss when moving if you start preparing in advance, gradually packing things. Thanks to these prudent actions, the dog will get used to the sight of boxes. But hide the "accessories" that belong to your pet in boxes last.
The usual routine - walks, feeding, etc. - should take place in the order that is familiar to the dog.
On the day of departure, it is better to take the dog away and lock it in a separate room so that the pet cannot escape through an open door while you are taking out your “belongings”.
How to behave on the road
If you have to travel by car, it is better to place small dogs in a carrier, while for large dogs it is worth considering the presence of a car seat or a special car belt.
Don't forget to bring water, food, bowls, diapers, wipes and toys with you.
On the road, pay attention to your pet: talk to him, pet him, and praise him for good behavior not only with words, but also with treats.
Behavior in a new place of residence
Before your dog enters a new home, you should make sure that it is safe for the animal.
After this, take your pet's things out of the boxes and show the dog where its bed will be located and where the food and water bowls will be.
