So we are moving to a new house across town in a couple of weeks. I'm worried about Ivan and Iris adjusting to their new house, not being too stressed by the changes, and not having a setback on their potty habits. We have a potty patch on our balcony with a doggy door now so they can go whenever they want. They also go on walks at least a couple of times a day. At the new house they will have their own small yard!
But we will be right against a green area and we won't be able to have a doggy door until we can put up something to keep away the hawks
(read too many scary stories about that one so we are paranoid to give them free access to the yard). We will still go on walks and I feel fine about letting them in the yard with me right there watching out for them because the yard is pretty small. There are also stairs in the new house so we will have to adjust to that too. Does anyone have any advice for helping them through the move without too much stress, adjusting to the new house, staying on track with potty habits, adjusting to having a yard, or to protect them from the wildlife? I know that's a lot of questions. Thanks in advance for any advice.
