If you live outdoors, you'll need to keep a closer eye on your puppies. You don't want them roaming off and having accidents while you're not watching. If you know they're wandering off on their own, you can lock them up and make sure they stay inside. Some dogs can even develop allergies if left outside for long periods of time.
Dogs can be curious. When they are curious, it is an invitation for more harm. They may eat your food, jump on your bed, and many other things. Make sure that you never leave your dogs alone when they're playing. Let them run and sniff around, but don't let them do it in front of you.
