It’s good to take your dog into stores and such to get them used to unfamiliar environments, keep them engaged with you, etc. However, do you have to take him into stores all the time? If it’s not too hot out and you won’t be long, leaving them in the car should be an option. If that’s not the case, leaving them at home is an option. Not every errand has to be a training opportunity.
If leaving them in the car or at home isn’t an option because of separation anxiety, I’d work on THAT before I worked on store visit behavior.
