I have five yorkies, and just one of them (Phantom) refuses to do the stairs. He wouldn't go up or down, until recently (about a month or so ago) he started going up by himself, but he just won't go down. The others race up and down, and try to coax him, but he just won't do it. He's 18 months old now, and he's never fallen or had any trauma. He's just my big baby, and that's okay with me. I thought for sure that eventually he would just do it and follow the others (my girls have been doing the stairs since they were about 8-10 weeks old!). They even "tease" him by taking his toys and dropping them down one stair at a time, but he just goes crazy and barks for me to go and get his toys for him! |
