Adjusting the B's to a new home? Tips?

Behavioral Issues
  • Hello! Well, the movers are coming tomorrow to take all my stuff away, and then we are hopping in the car on sunday to drive to NY! Just wondering if there are any tips to getting Tayda and Lenny acclimated to their new home? I imagine they will probably whine for a while when left alone in the new place. And they will have to meet the landlords dogs, with whom we will be sharing the fenced yard. I really hope Lenny doesn't try to kill them. That really wouldn't be a good first impression!

    Any tips?

    @jengosmonkey said in Our B's Non-Negotiable Quirks: I had to go back to Sally's site and check his pedigree, cause I'm pretty convinced he's related to Linda Blair (The Exorcist) Well well - What an excellent reason for checking on the database website ! Jengosmonkey, thank you ! I figured very few people on the forum ever looked at it - from the lack of entries I get from here.

    We camp a lot with the dogs. We have two x-pens set up outside of the camper for the dogs with two camp chairs in there…..you know that they can't lay on the ground right?..... If we can't put up x-pens for some reason then we have two cables for them that are made of wire with the red nylon coating on them. Those work as well but the easily become tangled if they are too close to each other.

    Also, I would recommend "Click to Calm" by Emma Parsons…and just about anything by Patricia McConnell. You can find these books at dogwise dot com You CAN learn to change Benny's behavior yourself, but it would really help to have a behaviorist help you. You wouldn't really have to risk a lot if you learn exactly what techniques you prefer to use, and then interview people about their preferences. After you do some research, it should be pretty easy to tell who is thinking the same way you are, and whether or not they can help. Did you try Northcoast Dogs? their website is that name then dot com

    It true that many dogs give signals humans miss. Its amazing when I go over to see someone about their bad basenji, how I watch them much closer than the family does. I think it just comes from most folks not knowing what to see. Hopefully, someone can come over and help you. It would so be worth the $$
