I have let mine outside in the yard in the past and had puppy play dates with dogs who I know are up to date on their shots. Course, while they are in the yard I watch them non-stop. They are little goats and will eat anything from rabbit poop to rocks. Because mine are so small and I have seen owls and other critters in the area, I have a xpen outside to limit the area I have to chase them in case I see something.

I have had a couple of puppy play dates at my house and yard with friends bringing their pups over. They are a little skiddish for the first five minutes or so and then they are chasing each other all over the place.

I would not take my dog to Petsmart or the doggie park until they had all of their puppy shots to included their rabies vaccination. This is two fold for me - first and foremost to protect my puppy and second to respect other dog owners. I have found a lot of dog owners are more comfortable when they have had their puppy vaccinations and their rabies shots (yes, I have been asked this question when I approached the doggie park before). The vet told me it was okay to take them pretty much anywhere after they had their third shot.
