So you need to move and your dog, who has been raised in a country, is now going to be a city dog. He is used to the sights, sounds and activity level of a quiet farm. How do you get him familiar with his new setting?
Take him to a busier location for a few weeks or even months before your move. Even taking your dog for walks in an area with more hustle and bustle will help the transition. The most important thing when moving to a new location is to acclimate your dog to the new setting. Even when going from an active city area to a suburb or rural area can wreak havoc on a dog’s behavior.
