Do your babies go down the stairs?? I'm trying different places to keep Peeka Boo when i'm going to be away(School is re-starting on Wed.). He FREAKED when he was alone in my bedroom, bathroom and in the kitchen. OMG he scared me in the kitchen this morning. I left him with all his toys food and the radio on and he could care less. He jumped up on the baby gate and it FELL ON HIM! :eek: He took off and ran up a whole flight of stairs. :rolleyes: I put him out in the hallway with our bedroom doors closed and he's been totally SILENT. I cant believe it, I havent heard a peep for a whole hour. The problem is, there are stairs out there. He wont go down them right now no matter what, but is there an age where they get bold enough to try? He's a week or so shy of 4mo. |
Allie is 13 weeks and she goes up and down the stairs. She is a no holding back kinda gal :rolleyes: |
Ahhhhhhhhhh poor baby must have been so scared from the gate. Buddy does not even touch the stairs when he runs down. It's amazing how he takes two at a time with me at the other end of the leash:eek: I just can get him to WALK down them. However, he's not a little one. Carol & Buddy |

Pippa goes up and down the stairs but i carry her up and down as much as i can as she has fallen before and it frightens me everytime she goes up or down |
I think it not only an age thing; it's a size thing as well. They definitely have an easier time going up then coming down. We have many steps around the house, and the only ones he is allowed access is a set of 4 steps. Even though he uses them quite often he still has tumbles, but because they are not high there is no real danger. There is no way he's ready for our outdoor steps; one wrong move and he would wind up on the cement. Just because they are not afraid to try something, it doesn't mean they are ready to do it. Joey's still less than 4 pounds, but each ounce he's gained has made a difference in his step climbing ability. |
Mine are 2 huge flights of 8-10 stairs. He doesnt have the nerve to try yet. He did slide down once(backwards on his stomach) looking up at us like "what?" but I think his foot slipped. :rolleyes: |
wow... My boys have been up & down pretty much any & all stairs since they were like 12 weeks old! The only stairs that my little one does not go up is hardwood stairs! He slips and then gets scared!:p My 8lb boy tackles and defeats any set of stairs! haha :D |
Brandi shocked the daylights out of me........at 8 weeks and 1 lb 9 oz.........I caught her pulling herself up the stairs (they're carpeted) I couldn't believe I saw what I saw so I brought her downstairs and up she went again.....the stairs were way taller than her........but she did it.....she didn't start running down herself until about 5 or 6 months old.......now she's an old pro......she likes to lay at the landing and I throw her ball to her.......and then she pushes it down the steps and I catch it and throw it back up |
My 10 year old pom and Cali don't do stairs except the one stair in to my ranch house. They have never seen flights of stairs so they never learned |
My male yorkie Sami 18mos weights about 4pounds can't go up or down the stairs, he can't jump up or down from the bed. But thats okay I love to carry him.. Now my female Lilly who is 7mos old and 3pounds can do everything.. Nancy mom of Sami and Lilly |
Our babies will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and they have been climbing up and down the stairs for a couple of weeks now. It did take Kiko about a week longer than Saly and Reese, but he got the hang of it pretty quickly! We put a stepping stool at the end of our loveseat which is at the end of our bed and they climb that so that they can sleep with Sabastian! |
I think I ended up teaching Gracie to do the stairs so that she would not fall down them. It took her all of two days to get the hang of it. I believe that was at around 3 months or so. |
Mastering the stairs... Jackson was about 5 months old before he would attempt any stairs. Even then, he'd only go up the stairs. I had to actually train him to come down the stairs. He was about 6 months old before he'd go in that direction. I started by putting him one or two steps from the bottom and encouraging him to come down to me. Once he did that, I increased it by a step or two. Once he mastered about 4 steps, he was willing to try the whole staircase. He still goes slowly...he is small enough that I think if he tried to go quickly, he'd topple head over heels. But at least now he's not afraid of the stairs. |
Hi, both my girls have issues with stairs :( Trixie will go up but she won't come back down. She's 1 yr. 4 mths and weighs about 5 lbs. Pia will turn 2 in April but is very small. (just 2 lbs) she won't even attempt our steps. No going up and no way would she go down. When I bought Pia puppy steps for the couch and our bed she looked at me like I was nuts. She eventually went up but it took months for her to wanna go down them. She's definately frightened of heights. Trixie I'm just confused by because she'd jump off anything so why the steps are an issue is beyond me :confused: Good Luck to you :) |
