In the best interest of the pup, you should. However if you are too lazy to clean-up after the animal then throw it out to the wolves. Put it this way, would you want your owner too put you out before you got all of your shots??????????? You shouldn't ask animal lovers dumb questions.

You can take it out into your own garden/yard but not into public places like parks etc, vets like you to wait at least 1 week after the 2nd injection. But your garden is absolutely fine. A lot of breeders put puppies in outdoor pens in the sunshine when they get to about 4/5 weeks old, not if it is freezing cold though.

no, they can go outdoors. they need to pee don't they? you just need to be careful about where and around what. having your puppy around other young puppies OR unvaccinated dogs of any age is a bad idea until they have their full course of vaccines around 4 months of age. you are right to be cautious about having your puppy out and about. if your puppy had full immunity against diseases after just the first or second sets of vaccines, guess what, they wouldn't need anymore!
about Petsmart: Petsmart is just a BAD IDEA for young puppies. Petsmart does not require a proof of vaccination or parasite screenings or anything for you to walk through the door with your puppy. puppies are crapping all over the floors, shedding thousands of parasite eggs onto the floor, and then your puppy walks on that same floor. and if your puppy who isn't fully vaccinated gets spit on or coughed on by a 'backyard puppy' who will never see vaccines in his life and is carrying parvo, then youre in for some sh*t

Yes you are meant to keep them indoors until 10 days after they're second lot of injections so its a bit of a wait and it does get frustrating. But you can carry your puppy outside as long as it is wrapped up just don't let it walk on the floor or pick anything up as this is were it can pick up infections.

If you live in the city or would normally walk a dog where a lot of other dogs are walked, you should be careful. You can take the dog out, but don't let him run around free.
There are many people who don't pick up after their dogs and that's how the disease spreads.

You do not need to keep a puppy indoors at any time, you can let it out in the garden, just don't let it have contact with other dogs or take it where other dogs are likely to have been.

No. You can let your puppy out in the garden, of course, and take it for short walks. It will be ok as long as you don't let it come into contact with any other dogs, which may have an infection.

Keep it away from other dogs and off communal areas, butyou'll be ok to let it out in the garden. Dont take any unnecessary risks - it's only a few weeks.

No, you dont have to keep a puppy inside until it has it second set of injections. Once they get the first batch, they are pretty much immune to the diseases they might get. The second batch is just for a follow up.

I wouldn't keep it inside for everything. I hope your trying to get your pup outside to go potty. But it is a really good idea to not let a pup this young around alot of dogs and to keep him safe. Don't bring the pup to the park where he could pick something up just by walking around.
After their 2nd set of shots then you can socialize you pup more.

I bought a puppy last June that was 8 weeks old and only had her first set of shots. Do you honestly think I kept her in the house for a month after I bought her? No. They can go outside and go places with you. Just make sure to get the shots when they're supposed to. In fact right after I bought my puppy, we took her to Petsmart with us. Is she sick now because of it? Nope. They don't have to be kept indoors for any amount of time. If it will make you feel better, take the dog to the vet and get the kennel cough vaccine. My dog got hers when she was only two and a half months old and I boarded her at 3 months old.
