When we moved, we sold our house and then moved into a rental for 9 months while our new house was built. Kimber did best when we kept as close to our usual routines as possible (meal times, scheduled walks); made sure she had easy access to her bed and her crate (and once we showed her where they were, didn't move them); and unpacking the main living areas as quick as possible so there weren't boxes where she spent time.
