I would almost prefer if Huey had never learned the hardwood stairs because the dingbat has no fear. If he sees something out the front door, he can't get down those stairs fast enough to get to the window to bark and has been known to jump the last 2 or 3 in a flying leap to the hardwood below. Scares us to death every time he does it. It will only take one bad landing.
He gets to running up the stairs so fast sometimes that he will misstep and slip back one step. Makes me crazy. Accident waiting to happen.
I should look into the no slip treads. That is a good idea.
