my 13 week girl yorkie reese can go up the stairs in our house and the staris from the backyard to the deck (very helpful) but she can't do down them. she usually follows me around everywhere so when i have to go upstairs she follows and i always carry her down. she learned how to go up the stairs by herself so i'm hopeful that she will learn how to go down them but it seems harder. she watches the older golden retriever go down the stairs but she doesn't attempt to do it herself. is there anyway to teach her? i really want her to learn because she loves to run around and play with our cat and when they run upstairs she can't get down and she wines and cries until i realize where she is. any suggestions would be appreciated.
