Human trying to get Frankie to come downstairs he lets him know how much he doesn't like stairs! And It's so cute!
Dog Tip: Scared of Stairs? Take the time to properly socialize your puppy. Make sure that by age 16 weeks, the pup is exposed to the various things, people and situations (such as stairways) he will eventually encounter along the course of life.
Do your best to keep all experiences during these impressionable weeks safe, secure and happy.
Training your dog to climb and descend steps without fear:
When introducing your pup or dog to steps, work to gradually build her confidence.
Start with just approaching the stairway. Reward her for making baby steps - any show of progress, no matter how small. Slowly introduce treats and, of course, verbal reinforcement into the training scenarios. Besides food treats, positive reinforcement tools include playing with your dog and providing a favorite toy for quick romp sessions.
