My 4 month old Pug is scared of the outdoors?

New member
I've had him since Sunday the 29th, of course it's the 3rd of December now, so i haven't exactly had him a long time but he's rather contented and happy in his new home, in the mornings he'll wake up, eat his malt biscuit and warm goats milk, play and nap again 'til like 9am then we'll go downstairs and play some more he'll paw and suck on his favourite teddy and play with him,so he's not scared indoors he's fine he'll run around the house speeding around but as soon as i put his harness (and jacket on since it's winter) and head out in the backyard he'll stand there then hide between my feet looking up at me rather scared, same in the front yard i was carrying him in the front garden earlier today and he was shaking (he wasn't cold, the jacket kept him nice and warm, cause he felt warm to touch) but how can i stop him being so afraid of the outdoors? I know i can't walk him yet i was told by the breeders i cant walk him 'til hes six months old because hes still growing and because his bones are still soft etc hense why hes not allowed to go up and down stairs/laps/sofas etc but itd still be nice to take him in the yard to play but hes so scared...help?
yeah, i wasn't just holding him, in the frontyard i put him down and he stood there, looking scared and wouldnt budge hense the carrying
