Dogs have to be taught stairs as puppies or they can be fearful as adults We taught Teddy the stairs right away but we never let him go down the full staircase by himself when he was really little. We would start like 4-5 steps up and we would coax him down with chicken. I noticed when Daisy had a slip on the stairs, she became a little fearful last year and we realized her traction wasnt that great anymore on our wood so we had a runner installed and now she is back to running up and down.
