Puppies can go outside sooner than you might think—even as early as 8 weeks old—there are just some steps to take first. When Can Puppies Go Outside for the First Time, it depends on the pup and the veterinarian, but your vet may give the okay for your pup to venture outside beginning at 8 weeks. While her primary series of shots won't be completed until around 12-16 weeks, you can take her outside to potty and begin to socialize her safely. If you're tired of throwing away soiled puppy pads, Evans suggests carrying your puppy outside finding a secluded space for potty time, avoiding feces from other dogs to minimize disease risk, but still being able to practice potty training. Short trips outdoors also give your dog the chance to sniff the air and get used to a different environment while staying safe.

Your puppy will need to be fully vaccinated before they can go out for a walk beyond the garden. However, if you would like to take them beyond the garden before they are fully vaccinated, you should carry them or use a pet carrier. When a puppy can go outside will depend on whether you have a garden. Your 8 week puppy has a tiny bladder and will need to pee lots. This can be every few minutes when they are active and as soon as they wake up from a sleep. Keep a close eye on your puppy and you’ll soon learn to spot the signs that they need to go to the toilet. Start toilet training your puppy straight away – be prepared for accidents.
