Max and Abbie were afraid of the stairs at first. I had to teach both of them. Going up was much easier to teach. I put a treat on the step above where they stood and so they went to the next step. I have 16 steps so we practiced 3 at time then took breaks. They learned within a day. Going down steps took a few days longer. I put them on the second step from the bottom and put a treat at the bottom of the steps so they went down. Then I put them on the third step and followed the same process. I kept adding a step and took breaks. All of a sudden one day they just bolted up the steps by themselves and were also able to come down the steps on their own |
