Kingston, my 1y5m old yorkie is scared of our house stairs! He won't go up or down the stairs and in order for him not to use the restroom inside the house I have to carry him.

I've tried laying down treats in each stair, but he'll go up 2 and then start crying and wimpering.

I'm running out of ideas. How can I have him conquer the stairs so I won't have to carry him up and down just to go on walks!

Thanks!
