If your garden is safe and secure from other dogs or animals, you may be able to allow your puppy out into the garden as soon as you take your bundle of joy home. If you know that foxes or other animals are frequently in your garden, it may be best to wait until after their vaccinations. If you have a clean, secure, and enclosed garden, your vet may say that your pup can go out to play in the garden straight away. It’s important to limit contact with other dogs or animals like foxes – so if your garden gets unwanted visitors, it may be best to wait. Seek your vet’s advice or wait until after their vaccinations have kicked in. Make sure to puppy -proof your garden before allowing them outside.

To help reduce the risk of disease, it is important to use a space where no other dogs have access, except ones that you know the vaccination history of - such as your own or other family dogs. While this doesn’t eliminate the chance of your puppy picking up an infectious illness, it does greatly reduce the likelihood of this happening. Make the most of all the ‘safe outdoor spaces’ you have around the house - such as back and front gardens, patios etc. Play games in your garden, spend time letting your puppy explore and investigate, or just hang out together in the sunshine. You can set up a puppy pen so you can both relax too. Ideally you will have a puppy proofed garden, although they should still be supervised outside at all times. This way, your puppy is already getting the experience of being outside in a safe environment – with all the sights, sounds and smells that brings.

As long as your garden is safe, enclosed with solid fences and not used by unvaccinated dogs, then your puppy can explore the garden straight away. It’ll help to build their confidence, get them used to their new home, and you can start their toilet training. Taking your puppy for their first walk is a huge milestone, but you’ll need to wait until they are fully covered by their vaccinations to be safe. This is usually a week or so after their second jab in their primary vaccination course, but this does vary depending on which vaccine your puppy has had. You’ll need to wait until your puppy is fully covered by their vaccines before they can meet most other dogs.

We advise that your puppy is not allowed out until after the second vaccination. However, you puppy may go out in your own garden for toilet training and can mix with other healthy, fully vaccinated friend’s and family’s dogs within their own gardens. Puppies require a vaccination course of two injections which can start from six weeks of age. We normally give the second vaccination four weeks later. If you are thinking of attending a puppy party to get your dog socialised with other dogs, this can be done after first vaccination, provided that all puppies are vaccinated to this level. The puppy vaccination course includes vaccinations against distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis and parvovirus. Annual vaccinations are required to maintain immunity for your dog.
