Helping your dog adjust to a new home requires patience, consistency, and creating a sense of familiarity. Start by setting up a designated area for your dog, with their bed, favorite toys, and items that smell like home. This will give them a sense of security. Keep their routine consistent, including feeding times, walks, and playtime, to maintain stability. Gradually introduce them to different areas of the house, allowing them to explore at their own pace. If you have a backyard, let them explore it slowly to avoid overwhelming them. Be patient with any signs of anxiety, like excessive barking or whining, and provide comfort through gentle reassurance. Additionally, consider using calming products like pheromone diffusers or anxiety wraps to ease their stress. With time and positive reinforcement, your dog will begin to feel more comfortable in the new environment.
