He'll be 12 weeks on Thursday

What's up with that?
Should I just anticipate replies of "Be patient."??

Thanks,

YES! BE PATIENT!!!

He is still a baby and the worse thing you can do is make him afraid. During this period he needs you to instill confidence in him with all things in his short life. There is a fear factor that comes into place around this age and can do harmful damage to the pups ability to handle certain things if not handled positively.

I can not emphasize enough to be patient! He will be walking non stop with you in a few short months and then you will want him to stop!
