Moving With a Dog Doesn't Have to Be a Doggy Downer

A few weeks ago, I devoted an entire blog to helping people with cats learn how to deal with their feline friends during a move.  This week I thought I’d look at the other side of the equation.  Did you know that there are more than 90 million dogs in the US?  Unlike cats, which are more independent and less likely to heed your every wish, dogs are more than happy to follow your commands, provided they are properly trained.  That being said, dogs, as opposed to cats, are pack animals.  This means that they have a well-defined concept of territory, not to mention who is the top dog.  When you pack up and move your family from one location to another, this has a tendency to throw your dog’s sense of self out of whack.
