You may be doing this already, but my .02:

Harness aside, make sure your dog is comfortable being touched. At that age, you should be touching and massaging his feet every day, checking his ears, putting your finger in his mouth. Reward with treats. Have other family members do the same thing.

It will help in the long run with everything from tooth brushing to examining injuries to vet and groomer visits.
