I agree, I don't think it is that she can't do it, more like she won't. As for the stairs, my GSP would NOT go down our basement steps for a long time (he would come up them just fine, though.) He was scared. We had to train him that it was safe. We would put treats down a couple of steps or would throw his toys a little ways down and "make" him go get them. He eventually would grab the treat or toy, then wouldn't turn and come right back up (even if it was on two steps down) he'd go all the way to the bottom, turn around, then come back up. It was pretty funny and it didn't take long at all for him to start running up and down the stairs without issue.
