Please help. I am getting really frustrated. All I wanted to do was make his life a little easier. |
I trained Shelby to use her stairs up to my bed by literally climbing them myself! I tried the treats at the top of the stairs then treats at the bottom.... she would just jump right off the bed avoiding the stairs completely, lol.... (thats y i got stairs cause i didnt want her to break a leg or something, she is VERY daring and will jump off of just about anything).... so ya, I started climbing the stairs myself and calling her to "follow" me.... she became a pro in about and hour!
good luck!
Oops! just saw the thread that ur little one already learned, lol.... well congrats then haha!!
