| She has probably never been outside. I would take her out there in your arms, and sit with her for a while, don't let her down because she'll feel all alone. Give her some time to get used to the sights and smells of the outdoors and it will probably help you two bond a bit more. If she realizes you are there to protect her she will learn to trust you even more. I would also say "outside" to her everytime you take her out so she will begin to recognize that word and help her training go further too. She'll learn that word and connect it with going outside. After she gets a little more comfortable sitting with you then let her down by your feet and hopefully she'll start going potty out there. To speed things along you could put her in the same spot as where she could smell her own 'bathroom' scent and she'll connect that faster with going potty. (You could actually leave a poo-poo of hers out there so she'll recognize that smell) Good Luck, she'll come around. P.S. Training gets easier and easier if you can teach her walk out the door by herself rather than carry her, but worry about that after she gets more comfortable with the outdoors. I have read that the biggest problem with training such small dogs has a lot to do with the owner carrying them out rather than letting them walk themselves outside. |

| Im not a breeder but My Chachi was also afraid when he first went outside. I got him in the winter and he had never been outside. I encouraged him with treat. With repetition of taking him out and giving him treats he got used to it and wasnt scared anymore

| I don't let mine outside in the grass until they've had their shots. She's probably just properly protected. |

The parvo virus is shed in the feces of infected dogs so puppies should never be taken outside until they have finished their complete round of shots plus two weeks for full immunity. The maternal antibodies they get from nursing stay in their body for weeks after weaning and interfere with the first vaccinations. A study of a cross section of different puppies showed that the age at which they were able to respond to a vaccine and develop protection (become immunized) covered a wide period of time. At six weeks of age, 25% of the puppies could be immunized. At 9 weeks, 40% of the puppies were able to respond to the vaccine and were protected. The number increased to 60% by 16 weeks, and by 18 weeks, 95% of the puppies could be immunized. Maternal Immunity: Passive Disease Protection from the Mother in Dogs I'm sure your breeder was just trying to protect the health of her puppies. | |
