Sorry for the long post - I'm trying to give enough details without dragging it out

I've been anxious and panicky for a while. One of mine has picked this up/already had the tendency. We're moving on Monday. We've been sleeping in the lounge since I've had them. They have crates & beds of their own that they do spend a lot of the night sleeping in, especially in the hot weather. I've not closed them in though since pups. One is 3yrs 5months very anxious and barks at what upsets him; I think he also feels a need to try to protect (also  with separation anxiety - bonkers barking on my return) the other is 2 1/2 yrs , more independent yet comes for reassurance when he needs to - he's still not fully house trained but have been having a lot more success with him the last few months (due to the weather and improvements in my mobility). I don't want to spoil this.
We're moving to a 1 bed bungalow with communal gardens, I'm going to use a pen at the back for early, late and in-between pees (I've got a pee post to encourage this) as well as walks.

I really want to avoid any mistakes indoors, if at all possible.

So, finally, my question is

I could gate off an area outside my bedroom door that includes the wetroom and make it a cosy place for them both to sleep that would still be quite close to me - and - would be easily 'de-peed' if needed. My worry is that, alongside the move, it may be too much of a separation and change in one go, on the other hand - I feel starting out right could be best.

Sorry, another question on moving day

Am I best leaving them in the current house, on their own after being highly aroused by the removers,  while the removal people transport and install the majority of the furniture in the new place so I can go back & then take them directly to what will/should/could be a peaceful place where I can concentrate solely on them (I'd think no longer than 3 hours after final loading to me returning for them).
After writing this, I'm thinking it's probably best as despite being left alone after such activity, they know the current house and I really want their first impression of the new place to be positive.

Is there no one you trust to be with them, or who they could go to while the madness of removals takes place? I can see why you are anxious and think they'd maybe be happier having a nice day out with a friend rather than being present. Good luck with it anyway!

When we moved (and we have done 'LOADS' of times) we keep our hounds with us.   The only time we didn't was when we returned to the UK at which point we sent them on ahead, before the packing up really started.   It was before Pet Passport so they went into quarantine which I felt was best done sooner rather than later.   On all other occasions we either had them in a room as soon as it was emptied, crated usually to prevent escapes - moving men are not bound to shut doors!!   Once the van left, they were all loaded into car(s) and after a quick vac. round, we shut the door and handed over the keys.   And left.    Once at the new place, usually ahead of the moving van(s) we set up a suitable room in the new place for them to be in while the unloading was done.

Dogs are generally better at moving to a new place than cats, provided their routine is kept to as much as possible.   I'd very soon take them out for a walk in the local area, so they started to get to know where 'home' then was.

It's traumatic for some, but remember they'll pick up YOUR vibes, so keep calm.

Add -- Just remembering one move, a close neighbour (close in we were friends) who was away, gave us her keys so we could move them (5) across the road into her kitchen where 3 were crated and 2 not.    We went back to get them after the unloading was done, but that was easier than some moves as we were only moving a few miles away.   Whether or not you leave them in an empty house, would depend on whether any noise they might make (echoing) would upset neighbours, much as you could warn them about what's happening!!     Moving with only 2 hounds should be a doddle

I'd have them away from the house while movers are there as that could be upsetting and have them at the new place once everything is in.

the location will have changed but there will be lots of familiar comforting things to make the new place feel like home.

I agree with brainless if u can go find someone they know to have them or a day in the kennels u have used before. Them back to the new house with all their usual things and u .

Thank you for your replies and advice - very much appreciated.
Sadly I don't have anyone or anywhere for them to go as it's a working day and they've never been in kennels/care.  My fault for not anticipating but it is a very quick move.
The house we're leaving won't be empty as I'm moving from a 3 bed semi to a 1 bed bungalow and am just concentrating on the forward move atm so I can deal with emptying the house after. I'm not worried about noise for neighbours if I left them for a while - just their (my dogs) anxiety levels. I've 2 sets of crates for each of them so can leave one set behind for now.
I like Mamabas' suggestions and I'm thinking about writing out my needs re the dogs for the removal men - it'd help keep my anxiety levels down too.
I'm thinking to ask the removal men to give me 10  minutes to settle them at the new place before unloading.  I'll pack their crates, beds plus baby gates and a couple of hooves in my car and give them a short sniff walk up to the bungalow then settle them in the area that won't have to be accessed by the movers - though adjacent to rooms that are. ETA - I can actually move these and put them in place tomorrow so less faffing on the day
Does this sound ok?

To reassure u I would have a similar problem with people or kennels during week days so u arnt alone on that one. Working on reducing your anxiety by writing down your requests to the removal men is good and I think your plan sounds pretty good . Add some dap room things and some rescue remedy as well and I am sure they will be fine and u too

Thanks so much for your understanding and support ff.
I knew there was something else I needed to get - DAP diffuser

Diffuser that's the word not.thingy lol

Not sure if your pets are using the pee post yet, but one of our dogs was adopted a bit older and wasn't fully housetrained. We put down pee pads and then placed the pee post on top of them. Then we slowly moved the pads and post closer to the door each day, and finally outside. Then we kept moving them both further and further until they reached the spot where we wanted to keep the post and then just removed the pad. Here are some other good tips you may want to use: http://www.smartdogguide.com/a-dog-fire-hydrant-potty-is-your-lawns-best-friend/  We actually forgot to choose a spot with good drainage at first and ended up having to move our post twice but by then he was already using it so it didnt matter to him where we put it.
