You can bring parvo in on your shoes and clothing. Other dogs can bring it in on their paws and fur. Don't assume your front yard is safe. All it takes is one dog or person with parvo on them to walk across your yard. It can live in the soil for 5-7 years, and bleaching alone will not kill it in the soil, nor will a hard freeze-the only true way to kill it in the soil is fire, and you can't exactly set your yard on fire....
