Moving from one place to another is a stressful time. Relocating to a completely different environment can be tough for your dog too, even if he doesn’t have to worry about moving furniture. Unfamiliar scents, sounds, new rules and new ways. Adjusting to a totally new environment can be quite stressful; also for the owner. 

Every dog wants to enjoy a wonderful dog life
dogNL has useful links with information for your expat dog and can give you advice on specific behaviour such as learning to be home alone again or how to interact with other dogs in the park. In Holland we like to walk our dogs off leash; that can be quite a challenge for expat dogs (and owners). Exercises including Coming -back-on-whistle and Walking-on-a-leash are given attention in the training. The program Onboarding your dog is adapted to what you and your dog need, so tailor-made. dogNL can help you adapting your dog to his new home in this new country. The aim is that you and your dog can quickly enjoy a wonderful (dog) life here in the Netherlands.

Onboarding your dog is divided into 4 parts:
1. Before you leave for the Netherlands
2. The first day in your new home
3. The first week in your new home
4. After the first week in your new home

*Originally set up for expats. In fact, every dog owner who has moved house faces similar problems.
