I have a 17 month old blue heeler. He's been here since last Wednesday and all he wants to do is lay/sleep on the couch or bed. He won't play with any of his toys, I've given him bully sticks and kongs which he usually LOVES, but he hasn't cared for them since we moved. I've tried taking him on walks so he can get some sniffs in and get familiar with the new area, but he just gets scared of the other dogs/people/cars and wants to go back inside. He hasn't been eating much, only taking a couple bites from his kibble each day. I did give him wet food today and he ate most of it. He doesn't respond to me when I call him to come by me unless it's potty time… He will allow me to touch him and give me kisses when I'm by him, but he doesn't follow me around anymore like he usually does. Is this normal? Is there anything more I can do to help him adjust? Thankfully I work from home so it's not like he's being left home alone all day to deal with it.
