It sounds funny but I actually spent an afternoon demonstrating to my Yorkie
when she was young how to climb up and down the stairs as she was so terrified.After a few hours I finally gave up and was convinced it was something she just wasn't going to do.Later on that day she surprised me and did it on her
own.She was probably about 6 months old and at that time weighed about 3lbs.
Now she weighs about 5lbs.Sometimes I wonder if it was a good idea as she
loves to go downstairs and steal my son"s stuffed toys.
