Crate training after moving

Crate Training

Our 14 month old lab has been crate trained since 8 weeks old. Thankfully, this has been the easiest part of her puppyhood/adolescence and she does very well at night and throughout the day when she is in there. We spend a week with our in-laws where she was crated at night and was just unable to settle at all, with excessive panting, barking, and whining. Obviously just uncomfortable in a new environment and anxious. I am concerned because we are moving in about a month into a new home and want to make this transition easy for her.

What tips/experience do you all have with moving and “re-crate training” to make this transition as smooth as possible?
