4 month old puppy fearful of walks

Our Cavapoo who we have had 2 weeks is really hesitant about going for a walk. We live in a quiet neighborhood and I can encourage him with treats to walk. With no treats he doesn’t want to move or explore. I keep it really short, just past my neighbors house and the second we turn back he makes a run for home. Once a neighbor dog barked and this scared him to want to run back home. Are there any tips to help him enjoy going for a walk? The breeder described him as shy and although he doesn’t seem anxious he isn’t brave or bold.
