In Ceasar's training book, he says that it's super important to give your dog a really long walk (minimum 1 hour) around the neighborhood that you are moving into before he enters the house. Since dogs are migrating animals, this walk sort of symbolizes migration and gets the dog familiar with it's new surroundings.
Ceasar has really great advice on moving to a new place with your dog, I bet you could pick up a copy at your local library.
I don't have any advice on confining, but I thought I share the long walk thing with you.
Hope things start to settle down at the new house. Be sure you are giving him tons of excercise! |
