changing home from house to an apartment (at least for a while)

    Should I expect this might stress my 3yo dog (as she's been living in this house all her life) ? Is there anything I can do to prepare her for this ?

    Note that us humans would accompany her; ... can see some adjustments would be needed to her routine.

    Anyone that can share anything on the subject is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    A year ago I moved my 3 dogs into a new home, their ages were 9, 9 and 6. I was expecting the older ones to be the most stressed since they had never moved in their lives.

    What I found helped them was familiar furniture/smells, they had their own beds too. It only really took them 24 hours and they settled in, I also took the week off work. Honestly, you are your dogs home, when they have you, that’s what matters the most.

    want to add so far everything is a positive experience, I am grateful. she's been the most adorable companion (as her first time) on a plane (3h) or train (5h) (luck was that I could keep her beside me on the flight, this is not usually allowed I think).

    now its warm and cosy living in this 3 beds flat (half the size of my previous house), think she's well settled. we get her for walks few times a day, there are new places to explore; the one inconvenience for us: too much dust in the city, would end up washing her almost after every walk (was joking that this city is not good enough for our dog) ... but telling myself in couple of months this won't be needed.

    Before I came out to the island I moved nine times in less than 20 years. With two then one dog and a plethora of cats. Never an issue re settling, As long as we are there? We are their heart and hearth, their centre and their lodestone. I never had beds for them as they sleep on mine. Wonderful critters!
