How weird is this.... So my Ripley who runs up and down the stairs all day, including ones leading to the sofa and bed, refuses to run up the stairs on our deck when we take her out. Its only 3 steps which are wider and closer together than the ones inside. She runs down them just fine...but, coming back in you can't budge her. Not even with treats. She just sits there and barks. She will put her front paws on the first step, but that is as far as she will go. We thought she might have hurt her leg, but we can't see any change and she runs up the stairs all the time with no issue inside the house.
This is only been the last two weeks. Before, she was fine. I can't figure out what has spooked her.
Any suggestions? |
