Basic obedience is best done on leash.
I think @ 12 weeks that is a bit much to expect of them.
I dont believe we started training Bandit until ~5 months. He is about to graduate intermediate obedience which is a lot of off leash work. He still falters, but getting better. @ 8 months now, he is quite a bit different pup than he was 3 months ago.
Consistent, persistent, patient training is the key. Dont expect giant leaps, but puppy steps (pun intended).
