We wanted to keep Zander's mind engaged on another very blustery winter day, so in lieu of one of his daily walks, we decided to see how he would do at a pet store. Would this once timid pup revert to his scared ways, or would he be confident?
We decided our first stop would be Pet People in Grosse Pointe. It is a small shop, the employees are always so friendly, and we rarely see other dogs there.
He happily wagged his tail as each new person greeted him. He even pulled a little to get to a new person he saw, which showed us he felt very comfortable.
He really enjoyed all of the smells.

These videos show how confident he was and how much he enjoyed this little outing.
For being such a good boy, we got him this rawhide alternative stick that he kept gravitating towards.
He was so happy he walked out of the store with it.

Because he did so well, we tried him at a local Pet Supplies Plus that might be a little busier. Didn't get any pics in the store, but again, he was so excited, butt wiggling with every person he met. He got a stuffed chicken toy that he played with for a bit on the way home before passing out from all of the excitement.
I think he had fun at pet stores. :)
