Puppy scared on walks, pulls home. Will she outgrow it or how to help?

Question

My 3 month puppy (boxer/hound/possible pit mix) gets scared while walking away from home. She'll turn around and pull me back towards the house. Will she outgrow this or is there something I can do to help her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 3 months old | 30 lbs

Most will outgrow this as they get older and more confident but walking with a friendly buddy dog and clicker training can help to work as positive distractions to encourage her to keep walking with you
