The critical period of development in a puppy is 7 -12 weeks they must see other dogs be around people with hats on walking sticks busy roads so they are not scared of anything, cos if not thats when you get trouble coming your way, some may agree and some may not agree but if your puippy as had there first injection there is no reson why you can not let your pup go for a small walk, but not in dog parks or were there is a lot of dogs in the area a nice quite area not much happening the dog should be fine, we as humans somthimes rap them up in cotton wool and reasure the dog by stroking them that everything is ok.

If there is a loud bang outside and the pup gets scared ignor dont go picking the dog up cos you just said that everytime theres a bang there is somthing to be scared about thats when anxiety and seperation anxeity kick in dogs should see the world from been a pup nothing should faze them if done right
