Tetley has the "doggy steps" for getting up and down off my bed and he uses them countless times every day. I don't know what I'd do without them.
I got him to use them by putting a treat on each stair, one by one, so that he would get the idea of climbing them. I used the command "use your stairs!" when he'd be on them and praise him a lot. It took him a while to remember that the stairs were there, but I just refused to pick him up anymore and just kept repeating "go use your stairs!" and he got the idea after a few days and a few reminders. Now he bolts up and down those stairs like nothing. |
