When can my 11-week-old puppy safely go to doggy daycare or park?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 2 months and 17 days old | 25 lbs

My corgi is going on 11 weeks. She is up-to-date with her vaccines. Next month she starts puppy training. I really want to get her into doggy daycare and take her to the lake and park here to socialize because she goes crazy in the house. Any suggestions? She is an active breed, she needs to get out and get rid of all of that energy.

I would play with Mia in your yard, but I would not take her into any public places until she is fully vaccinated. She is still susceptible to catching highly contagious and deadly diseases like parvo and distemper until she receives that third round of vaccines. Her health is too important to risk, so try to wear her out in your yard only. Best of luck.
