the kind that look like miniature versions of human stairs are potentially dangerous; especially taller ones (those with more than 3 steps), as they can easily lose their footing and fall off sideways -- which is a long way down for a yorkie.
we learned this the hard way, btw. she landed so hard on the carpet that she just layed there frozen for a split second. ;( luckily, she was okay, but we felt like horrible parents. ;(
i found other similar horror stories online while searching for an alternative...we immediately replaced them with larger, square-shaped pet stairs, which are much safer and easier for yorkies, as they can get all four paws on each step.
