  I agree with most of the others. As long as it is your own yard, and other dogs arent able to run through your yard(possibly spreading disease) there is no reason why you can let your puppy out now!  Also, like was already mentioned its not possible to get rabies just from the grass! Your puppy would have to come into contact with the infected animal itself and be bitten and come into contact with the saliva! You can NOT get rabies from blood urine or feces, or even by touching the animal. Hope this helps. All my dogs were potty trained outside from the time i got them.  We just didnt take them into pet stores, or to parks or for walks outside the yard until they were fully vaccinated.  |
