Moving day is one of the most disorienting days of a dog's year, with strangers, open doors, and unfamiliar boxes everywhere. The safest plan keeps your dog crated or boarded away from the chaos and secured, never loose, for the actual transport.
Pro tip: Bring a piece of bedding with the old home's smell on it; familiar scent helps dogs settle faster in a new space.
Watch out: A dog that bolts during a move often runs toward the old neighborhood, not away from it, so notify old neighbors and update tags before the move, not after.
