Both of mine were afraid at first so I just worked with them. They were more afraid to come down than go up. So I worked with them by doing it for them. Put their front feet down one step, bring their back feet down and do it a few steps at a time. I did it on the bottom 3 steps the first few times then worked up a little farther each time. They figured it out after a few tries. But, try to get them to go sideways (our steps are kind of narrow). a couple times Remy got going straight and his butt would go right over his head coming down and he'd roll the rest of the way. Thank goodness they are carpeted! They do slide and fall on the wood steps going outside if they are in a hurry, tho. |
