how many pounds is your pup. From experience hardwood stairs are VERY hard for small dogs to go down safely. I also find that stopping mid way makes it harder. After 2.5 years of having Lola and climbing up and down them at least 10 times a day I watch every time that she is not under my feet or that I get in her way while she has her rhythm going. She has only had some minor slips a few times but my last yorkie had a few tumbles. I did not know you could get rubber backed individual runners, I may have to look into them. I tend to wear only socks often and can attest to my own tumbles. |
