They were too small to be away from their mother for too long. Also, Lennie doesn't know his own strength so he could easily kill a puppy without meaning to (which is what he ends up doing later in the novel).

Slim told Lennie to stop stroking the puppies because he was petting them too roughly, which could harm the puppies unintentionally due to Lennie's strength. Slim wanted to prevent any harm to the animals and educate Lennie on handling them gently.
