My dogs, Radar and Zuko are adjusting to our moving a little strangely. I got them at 8 weeks old and they had been living in our old house with me as their “parent” I walk them, trained them, feed them, I am their soul care giver and favourite person for their entire lives, without being separated from me for any significant amount of time because of health concerns I haven’t working properly for the last 6 years.

We moved on December 1st to a new home, I brought them here a few times before the move but they just seemed keen to leave, now they are here they are eating well, playing well, even exercising better because of a dog friendly oval just around the corner but at night when I put them out to sleep, (they sleep on old dog beds from the old house on an outside old futon bed, they are brothers from the same litter and gernally never seperate) after I go through the same good night routine I always do they bolt off their beds! They run and seperate, Radar heads for an old table we brough with us and hides under in and Zuko runs around to the other side of the house to lay under my bedroom window. I really don’t know what to do, it gets cold here at night but they don’t seem happy on their beds unless I sit with them. Any tips on getting them better adjusted or is it just gonna take time?

One thing that’s a bit different, their old yard was bigger and the could see through a gate to the road outside, here they can’t see out and are totally fenced in.
