First trip afield for a puppy
My wife and I have a 12 week old French Brittany pup and we’ve had her for almost a month. She is driving my us crazy, and we were wondering when folks recommend bringing the dog out of their small backyards and into the field for the first time.
She has had her first two rounds of her distemper/parvo shots, plus first round of lepto. She will get second lepto plus her rabies shot in a few weeks. We spoke with the vet during her most recent visit and they advised waiting until she is fully vaccinated to bring her out into the field/woods, but honestly the thought of waiting a month and a half or so to go out has us worried about our sanity.
We play with her in the yard. She plays with our other dog. We do basic training commands. Yet, she is still a (cute) menace. I forgot about how tiring puppies can be.
My question is: when do you bring a puppy out?
Or: how do you stay sane before bringing pup out?
