Default Stairs

We just got a 3-month old Yorkie named Charlie. We've had him nearly 2 weeks now, and we're all in love. He's perfect for our family. He has a wonderful disposition, loves to cuddle, and isn't too hyper considering he's a puppy.

I was worried as we've never had a puppy before. So I did a lot of reading and research (and made myself worry more But things are going great. A little slow on house training but we're getting there.

The past couple of days I'm wondering about the stairs. He hasn't attempted them. (His breeder was in an apartment in NYC; so no stairs there.) He's bigger than most Yorkies (weighs 7.5 at 13 weeks!!) We've been carrying him up and down the stairs but if he gets much heavier, I'll have trouble (bad arthritis in my hands.)

Wondering if I should try to "teach" him how to do the stairs, and if so how? Or is it something he'll do when he's ready?
