How long does a German Shepherd take to adjust to a new home?

A German Shepherd generally needs about a week to adapt to a new environment. Adjusting is a gradual process, so after bringing one home you should not rush to get too close but let it get familiar with the surroundings on its own.

You can leave it the toys, blanket and food bowl it is used to, giving it a sense of familiarity and security to help it settle in faster. Before it gets used to the environment, the owner should not get overly intimate but can spend more time keeping it company so it learns to accept you.
