Research published in Animals (Piotti et al., 2020) found that dogs use scent as a retrieval cue for spatial memories and that scent and place are the same neurological experience for a dog. Research published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science (Beerda et al., 1998) confirmed that unpredictability, not just change itself, is a primary driver of the cortisol stress response. Understanding both of these changes everything about how you approach each phase of the move.\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-894a3992-7fff-5769-8a4c-b82931dcde7a\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe complete guide which contains\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 24 pages covering all six phases, the science, and specialist sections for separation anxiety, noise phobias, fear-based anxiety, flat and apartment moves, multi-dog households, children in the household, and veterinary support\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14-Day Anxiety \u0026amp; Behaviour Tracker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e fillable PDF: daily appetite, sleep, anxiety level, stress signals and positive behaviours.
