Congrats on your new dog! Yes, a bland diet is a good idea when a dog has diarrhea, and the stress of moving into a new house could be causing it. I'd keep a close eye on him, and if the bland diet doesn't help over the next 24 hours, then I would take him into a vet to get checked out. I hope this helps.
