Dogs have good adaptation mechanisms. For them customs are important, they perceive everything that surrounds them through smell.
We recommend that you take your dog to visit the new home before moving, so that he knows the place a little and sniffs everything before the move.
The day of the move

Explore the house
Even if you’ve taken him for a walk before the move, now is a good time to let him explore the whole house on his own. If he doesn't feel safe, he will follow you, and you must take him all over the house. First show him the places to sleep and feed.
Be patient
A common problem dogs have when moving is that they do not want to relieve themselves, because they do not have their usual place. You must wait for him to feel comfortable and adapt, if you press him he will increase his nervousness.
Give him his favorite food
By giving your dog his favorite food, the smell will help give him a little confidence.
Be affectionate with him
Affection is important for a dog to adapt well to his new home. Accompany your dog with caresses and pampering to comfort him. Use soft words and make him play with his favorite toys.

It depends on the attention you gave him, the age, the personality of your dog, his level of obedience, and other things.
