I am certainly not a vet, so if you trust your vet, you should listen to him. But I started outdoor training at 9 weeks old in the Maryland winter with Jackson. My vet said it was fine as long as it was just our yard, no public parks, dog parks, pet stores, places where lots of other dogs have been, etc. I don't see the harm in that. But you also need to know what's in your area, if there has been lots of cases of parvo, etc, it may not be worth the risk. You could buy a potty patch in the mean time (its grass) if she won't use pee pads. |
