Puppies should have had all their core puppy vaccinations before going to public places like the park to reduce their risk of encountering other dogs or an environment that could be a source of infectious diseases. Before your puppy is fully vaccinated you can take them out with you, but you should carry them and limit their exposure to other dogs and areas where dogs might have been. When can you first take your puppy outside for a walk? It’s best to wait 10 to 14 days after your puppy has received their final core puppy vaccine before taking them on outdoor walks and exposing them to environments and other dogs. Can I take my 12-week-old puppy for a walk? For a puppy to receive a walk outside, they must be up to 2 week-post their final vaccination. At 12 weeks, your puppy probably shouldn’t be taken for walks outside of your backyard. Taking your puppy for a walk before their final vaccinations runs the risk of them contracting illnesses or diseases which could be fatal. From two weeks after the final puppy vaccination (usually around 16-18 weeks of age), puppies are no longer restricted in where they may visit and can socialise with any other friendly dogs.
