Question Ears Down On Heel

I have a 9 month old Dutch Shepherd whose ears are pinned back against his head on heel when exposed to distractions. With no distractions his ears are erect. By distractions I mean if I practice heeling downtown his ears are pinned the whole time. If I practice heel around the house the ear stay erect. I understand the ears pinned back are stress signals. I thought after repeated trips downtown this would disappear. It's been over a month now and the ears are the same. I suspect he is anticipating corrections.

I can't decide how to cure this stress related situation.
