I planted a catmint plant in my garden ( a month ago) and my neighbours dog is able to reach that garden bed and will chew on the plants. It definitely got a bit stressed but I chopped off any flowers so it could focus more on supporting new roots instead of keeping the flowers going.

I decided I want to move it to another location where my neighbours dog cannot reach it. Is it a bad idea to relocate again? Will it bounce back? I’m not looking for a big bushy plant at this point, just wanting it to get established before winter. First frost is est October 10

I think you’ll be fine to move it. Herbs generally grow like weeds, especially catnip.

Since it’s summer it’s harder, the plant has been established for a month. It can be done. Keep it moist when digging and replanting.
