Often, the owners confuse this process with the desire of the pet to take a walk. However, it must be taken for a walk. The yard is part of the new conditions, so the dog must explore all the surroundings where he has to walk. Two or three walks are enough for the animal to begin to consider the territory as soy and gradually forget the old house.
