@gigilynn2 I've been perhaps a bit to freaked about parvo. He's 14 weeks not. We go in the car a lot. Then we have been to public places a few times. He doesn't touch the ground, always carried but he has a blanket he gets to stay on if we are training not to engage everybody that walks by.
The people at Starbucks like when I pop in with him.
But no walks in public, just backyards. He's met other dogs and plenty of people.
Though I do think I'm depriving him of something important/valuable not walking him at this age; my vet just won't give me the "I think the risk is worth it." Well the vets techs anyway act like parvo is lurking on every surface. I live in Orange County, CA and I have to assume this area has it very rarely; but only the vets have regional info on that and they wont tell me anything other than "beware ahhhhh!"
Like I absolve you of liability vet techs; should he get out there and see the world from the ground? His vaccinations are current for 14 weeks.
Must I really wait 4 more weeks to take him on a hike and get him used to wilderness areas?
