potential outdoor biohazards, most vets will advise that pet owners wait until a puppy is at least three months old before taking them outside.\u00a0 In addition, young puppies don\u2019t require as much physical activity as older dogs. Pups can be exercised for five minutes each day per month of age.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"can-i-take-my-3-month-old-puppy-on-walks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_take_my_3_month_old_puppy_on_walks\"><\/span>Can I take my 3 month old puppy on walks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the Kennel Club UK, a good rule of thumb when deciding how much to walk your puppy is a ratio of five minutes of exercise per month of age. For example, when your puppy is three months old, walk them for 15 minutes a day. When they\u2019re six months old, you\u2019ll be walking 30 minutes a day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-i-carry-my-puppy-outside-before-vaccinations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_carry_my_puppy_outside_before_vaccinations\"><\/span>Can I carry my puppy outside before vaccinations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Taking your puppy for their first walk is a huge milestone, but you\u2019ll need to wait until they are fully covered by their vaccinations to be safe. This is usually a few weeks after their second jab in their primary vaccination course, but this does vary from vaccine to vaccine.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e14ta0c18OE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"at-what-age-is-it-safe-to-take-a-puppy-outside\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_what_age_is_it_safe_to_take_a_puppy_outside\"><\/span>At what age is it safe to take a puppy outside?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering when can puppies go outside away from home, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) recommends that pet guardians begin taking puppies on walks and public outings as early as one week after their first round of vaccinations, at about seven weeks old.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BBhZGKRHIIk\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"can-i-take-my-8-week-old-puppy-outside\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_take_my_8_week_old_puppy_outside\"><\/span>Can I take my 8 week old puppy outside?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you receive your puppy at 8 weeks, you can safely take him outside, but with precautions. You should take your puppy outside to use the bathroom and start activities in the home.\u00a0 Once your puppy has had his final round of vaccinations (typically 14-16 weeks), you can extend the areas and dogs that he is exposed to.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-should-a-3-month-old-puppy-know\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_a_3_month_old_puppy_know\"><\/span>What should a 3 month old puppy know?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In your puppy\u2019s third month you\u2019ll see a resurgence in the confidence he had as a wee pup, wiggling about and exploring everything in sight. Your pup\u2019s brain is now at the stage where is he ready to learn his name and the most basic of commands. He\u2019s also more interested in earning your attention and affection.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kbv3DKgOnmY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-toilet-train-my-puppy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_toilet_train_my_puppy\"><\/span>How do I toilet train my puppy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you start to house train, follow these steps: Keep the puppy on a regular feeding schedule and take away their food between meals. Take the puppy out to eliminate first thing in the morning and then once every 30 minutes to an hour. Also, always take them outside after meals or when they wake from a nap.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-i-carry-my-puppy-outside-to-pee\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_carry_my_puppy_outside_to_pee\"><\/span>Can I carry my puppy outside to pee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the meal, only wait between 5 and 30 minutes to take your puppy outside. The younger the puppy, the sooner they should be brought out after a meal to potty. As the puppy grows older, they will gain bladder control and learn to hold it longer each day.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RLWRP-mcukg\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-i-carry-my-puppy-around-outside\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_carry_my_puppy_around_outside\"><\/span>Can I carry my puppy around outside?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When can I take my puppy outside? Vets tend to recommend not taking your puppy into public places until about a fortnight after your puppy has had its second vaccination, at around 14-16 weeks. This is because they can easily pick up nasty viruses like parvovirus and distemper.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e14ta0c18OE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-puppies-need-3-vaccinations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_puppies_need_3_vaccinations\"><\/span>Do puppies need 3 vaccinations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Puppy vaccinations<\/p>\n<p>Puppies are particularly vulnerable to serious diseases like parvovirus and canine distemper, so it\u2019s vital they receive their initial course of three vaccinations.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-my-puppy-get-parvo-from-my-backyard\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_my_puppy_get_parvo_from_my_backyard\"><\/span>Can my puppy get parvo from my backyard?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Parvo and a lot of the other communicable diseases puppies can get come from direct interaction with a dog carrying the disease, or from interaction with the waste products of a carrier dog.
