Moving house is one of the most stressful events a family can go through — and for your dog, it can feel like the end of the world they know. Every familiar scent, corner, and route disappears overnight. But with the right preparation and understanding, you can help your dog navigate the upheaval with confidence and calm. This practical guide walks you through every stage of the move, from choosing a new home with your dog in mind to settling in and building new routines. Drawing on reward-based, force-free methods, it explains how to reduce anxiety, prevent common problems, and strengthen your bond during a time of change. You'll learn how to pack without upsetting your dog, manage moving day safely, and help them feel at home quickly in their new environment. Whether you're moving across town or across the country, Moving House With a Dog gives you the tools to make the transition smooth, safe, and even enjoyable for your canine companion. Packed with checklists, expert tips, and real-world advice, this is the only book you need for a dog-friendly move. Part of The Dog Owner's Library.
