Finch went to his first busy store yesterday, it was a lot to take in, but he did his best and handled it like a champ. He loved that his Curly Coated Retriever friend got to join us as well!
I learned we need to work more on stairs (he wants to dart up the last couple without me), and I now need to start driving into the city a little more for busier locations to train. He isn't fearful, just very excited, which is not a surprise with his personality.
The store is also pet friendly so we passed numerous dogs inside, and he didn't bat an eye at any of them, such a good puppy.
We also learned that stationary people (statues) are just as exciting as real people. More friends! 😂 Short video in comments after he calmed down.
